In the Way He Should Go, Vol. 2: Preparing Children for God
by Jeff Miller, Ph.D.
2022, 271 pages, paper back
Step 1 of biblical childrearing (“Teach”—covered in Volume I) was the “easy” part. Now we turn to the difficult, socially unpopular, often little known, almost inevitably misapplied but essential steps in childrearing as described in Scripture: Train and Correct.
One could teach a child so thoroughly that he could quote from memory the official definitions of each of the biblical virtues, know virtually every application of those virtues in day-to-day life, and quote every Bible passage pertaining to them—and still be enslaved to sin throughout his life and be eternally lost. Why? Because knowing the right way isn’t the same thing as consistently following the right way—and both are required to be pleasing to God. The latter requires training and correction using the God-prescribed protocols in Scripture. If you’re like us, you’ll be amazed at the Bible’s clear illumination of two rarely studied or discussed childrearing subjects.
“Train up a child in the way he should go,
and when he is old he will not depart from it.”
-Proverbs 22:6-
