How parents approach the task of passing on religious faith and
practice to their children How do American parents pass their
religion on to their children? At a time of overall decline of
traditional religion and an increased interest in personal
"spirituality," Religious Parenting investigates the ways that
parents transmit religious beliefs, values, and practices to their
kids. We know that parents are the most important influence on
their children's religious lives, yet parents have been virtually
ignored in previous work on religious socialization. Renowned
religion scholar Christian Smith and his collaborators Bridget Ritz
and Michael Rotolo explore American parents' strategies,
experiences, beliefs, and anxieties regarding religious
transmission through hundreds of in-depth interviews that span
religious traditions, social classes, and family types all around
the country. Throughout we hear the voices of evangelical,
Catholic, Mormon, mainline and black Protestant, Jewish, Muslim,
Hindu, and Buddhist parents and discover that, despite massive
diversity, American parents share a nearly identical approach to
socializing their children religiously. For almost all, religion is
important for the foundation it provides for becoming one's best
self on life's difficult journey. Religion is primarily a resource
for navigating the challenges of this life, not preparing for an
afterlife. Parents view it as their job, not religious
professionals', to ground their children in life-enhancing
religious values that provide resilience, morality, and a sense of
purpose. Challenging longstanding sociological and anthropological
assumptions about culture, the authors demonstrate that parents of
highly dissimilar backgrounds share the same "cultural models" when
passing on religion to their children. Taking an extensive look
into questions of religious practice and childrearing, Religious
Parenting uncovers parents' real-life challenges while breaking
innovative theoretical ground.

The Stone Lectures were an annual lecture series at Princeton
Theological Seminary. Internationally-renowned speakers were
invited to participate. Among, if not, the most notable was Abraham
Kuyper. These are the Kuyper lectures of 1898 on the subject of
Calvinism. They form the outline of his Calvinist theology and its
impact on every aspect of society. His first lecture is "Calvinism-
A Life System," and the remaining five lectures relate Calvinism to
religion, politics, science, art, and the future. Kuyper is an
important figure in Calvinism and a leader in theology development.
His passion for education resulted in the founding of Amsterdam
Free University and numerous other colleges.
There are many books explaining and defending the doctrines known
as Calvinism but there is none like that of this volume from C. H.
Spurgeon, the Prince of Preachers. Spurgeon was not only a
theologian but a Pastor, and it is with the heart of a pastor that
he defends the doctrines of grace. This quintessential classic work
by Spurgeon is fortified with select sermons on the individual
doctrines as well as a bonus sermon on the issue of whether
extolling the grace of God as taught in Scriptures leads to sin. A
must have for every Christian's library.
The Plan of Salvation is the result of a series of five lectures
delivered by Benjamin B. Warfield at Princeton Theological Seminary
in 1914. In these now famous discourses, B. B. Warfield thoroughly
analyzes all the possible soteriologies and emphatically concludes
that, - "There are fundamentally only two doctrines of salvation-
that salvation is from God, or that salvation is from ourselves."
Warfield skillfully arrives at this determination through an
enriching and edifying process of argumentation which is sure to
convince the reader that truly- salvation is from God alone.

The Westminster Larger Catechism is well worth our study. It
unifies Presbyterians who use it as one of their church standards.
It gives us all Christians the meat of the Word of God. It places a
greater emphasis on, and gives fuller explanations of, doctrines
that maturing Christians need to hear. It emphasizes aspects of the
gospel and draws directly from Scripture in a way that other
catechisms do not. And the Larger Catechism emphasizes the church,
the ministry, preaching, and the sacraments at a time when all
Christians-need to hear of them. Spurgeon, a Baptist, found the use
of the Westminster Catechisms of tremendous value, even drawing
from them in forming a catechism of his own. He extolled their use
in the family as a valuable tool in discipling our children. This
edition is newly typeset in larger-print and in a large 8.5" x 11"
format with wider margins, lending itself to study. It is complete
with all full Scripture proof texts supporting each question and
its answer.

Who better to teach "How to be Soul-Winner" than C. H. Spurgeon.
Known the world over as the "Prince of Preachers," Spurgeon is the
master of the evangelical sermon and perhaps the most prolific
communicator of the gospel the world has ever seen. In this classic
manual on evangelism, he lays out the most biblical, and therefore
effective, methodologies for leading sinners to the Savior. Before
buying into any of the so-called "new & innovative" systems of
evangelism- learn the basics of sound Bible teaching on how to
share the good news from the pen of a master evangelist.
The Mother at Home was particularly written for the mother who is
employed full-time at home in the work of raising a family, but the
principles are applicable to every mother and every father as well.
This classic book has served to raise godly children for
generations. Mothers everywhere have found it to be of vital help
to them in their awesome task. Full of wisdom and practical
teaching to be cherished by all-read it often, as it isn't possible
to glean everything in one or two readings. You'll gain timeless
biblical guidance and successful parenting practices, -it's full of
practical advice for running a successful home, raising children
that love and worship God, and avoiding the most universal
parenting pitfalls. Written before the "politically correct" days,
when parents were not afraid to discipline their children in the
admonition of the Lord. The Mother at Home will prove to be an
enormously helpful and encouraging manual for Moms emphasizing the
need to be diligent in parenting as slackness in this God-given
responsibility will heap up trouble in years to come. Give this
fantastic book to any mother of young children as a valuable aid in
reflection and course adjustment while there still remains time to
impact the lives of their children for good. It's far more
effective than the modern books which erroneously encourage a
child-led parenting methodology. Raise your children God's way
The mountain region of Germany known as the Black Forest is a
difficult place to live especially in the bitter cold of winter.
Most folks lead a hard and humble life. For Max Steiner it was no
different. Despite the protests of his carnally-minded mother he he
had set his eye upon sweet little Doris. He loved her and couldn't
imagine living without her. Doris and Max were quickly blessed with
their first child, a son they named Herman, who grows to be an
awkward, unpopular young boy who would often think of himself as a
"good-for-nothing" but God has great plans for Herman. There would
be significant obstacles and set backs but God would fashion him
into a powerful man of God and through this unstoppable plan God
would also see to softening the hard hearts of many. From jealous
neighbors, to Max's domineering and ambitious mother, to Max
himself, God would touch and even redeem some from very worldly
lives. Though unable to give to Herman the treasure that Max's rich
mother could offer, Doris's faithful mother Magdalena offers the
consistent and faithful prayers that God will use to transform
Herman into his champion for the everlasting Gospel. She may well
be the overlooked heroine of this beautiful story of faith and
grace.
