In an age when common sense too often gives way to the opinions of “experts”, Arnold offers an approach to childrearing that is grounded in faith. This short book offers concrete steps to encourage parents who want to pass on to their children the values their parents gave them.
Raising a child has never been more challenging. In his latest book, pastor Johann Christoph Arnold offers time-tested wisdom and common-sense advice on what children need most, what holds a family together, and how to rediscover the joy of parenting.
With chapters on founding a family, the unborn child, birth, motherhood, fatherhood, teaching respect, building character, discipline, the role of grandparents, the special child, consideration for others, teenagers and more, Why Children Matter is a timely handbook for every parent and anyone who cares about children.
I am a single parent and have raised my daughter on my own since she was two years old. She has just turned 16 in June. I also took over my nephew to raise him as my own when my brother passed away at the age of 30. My nephew is turning 15 in October. This book came to me as a gift from God. It has inspired me to be a better mum to my children. I am keeping a copy of it, and also the other book on Sex, God and Marriage which I am still reading it every night. I will pass on these books to my children and let them read too. God gave me these two books to help me in my parenting, to make up for what I am lacking, and to reinforce the Catholic Faith and Christian Values I would like to impart in my children. Thank you Johann, for giving us, Parents these great tools for parenting.
What a wonderful book to share. As a school principal for over 35 years, I have seen to erosion of family and the strong Christian values that have been washed away by society. It was important to read each and every chapter and recall the ideas and values that need to be restored so desperately in our society. I hope that each and every family member, especially the dads, lift their vision for the possible in God's magnificant creation and see their role as God asks of us. Well done, Thank you for a wonderful and uplifting read.
