Who should teach your children? What should they be taught? What is the goal of education? Drawing on Charlotte Mason's and classical methods and encouraging parents as God's chosen teachers, Sproul offers a biblical approach to learning that defines instruction as discipleship; and its purpose as seeing your children bear fruit, grow in grace, and become more like Christ. 152 pages, softcover from P & R.

Very thought provoking book. It is not so much practical as it is theological. I really enjoyed this book and strongly recommend it to anyone who has children and would like to bring them up in the ways of the Lord!

This book is profitable for anyone homeschooling or considering it. I didn't agree with everything in the book, but it's still a worthwhile read to get homeschoolers to remember why we're really doing it in the first place, which is to disciple our children.

At the moment my wife and I don't have any kids, but when we have these little blessings we'll be sure to school them as presented in this book. The premise of this book is basically, what's the purpose for teaching them what you do? What's the ultimate goal of what you want to teach them? Inspiring and Convicting. A must read alongside "Sheparding a Child's Heart" by Tedd Tripp.

Every parent should read this book. God’s ways and His thoughts should be our guide in raising our children not the world’s ways or thoughts. R.C. writes the truth in a time when even Gods church often wants to follow the world’s ideas. This is a book about parenting to please God and only God!

As a Christian home schooling mom, I consider this book a "must read" for anyone who is thinking about educating their children at home, or doing so already. This book is totally convicting and inspiring! We should be raising followers of Christ, not Harvard scholars! What do we gain if our children are little geniuses, but do not know Christ?
