Bringing the Gospel to Covenant Children (Family Guidance Series) Kindle Edition

by Joel Beeke (Author) Format: Kindle Edition

4.7 37 ratings

See all formats and editions

This book is packed with practical guidance on how to evangelize covenant children and how, by God’s grace, to make the home “a nursery for heaven.” After showing that Christians today fail to understand the role of the covenant in their children’s lives, Joel R. Beeke offers insight on the covenant relationship between God and man, and its implications for home and family. He then teaches parents how to instruct their children in the gospel, with detailed guidelines on how to use prayer, family worship, teaching, conversation, and mentoring to evangelize children. Leading a child to Christ is a lengthy but hopeful journey in which parents must use God’s appointed means while depending radically upon the Holy Spirit to produce the desired result.

Table of Contents:

1. Understanding the Need

2. Teaching the Content of the Gospel

3. Using the Means

4. Concluding Applications

Editorial Reviews

Review

In Bringing the Gospel to Covenant Children, Joel R. Beeke writes with refreshing biblical clarity, giving parents the confidence to open the Bible and show their children Christ and His gospel on every page. Parents who love Christ and their children will not want to miss this clear, practical, confessional, and imminently biblical work on how Christ and His gospel alone transform our covenant children. There may not be a more important resource for every Christian parent to read and re-read as they evangelize and nurture covenant children in Christ. --Douglas Bond

Wonderful, Useful book

This book is very helpful and doesn't take long to read. I enjoyed it so much and consider it a treasure. I have children under 4 and I plan to use this book as a resource to build a curriculum. Chapter 2 alone could give you several years worth of building blocks for Christian education. I recommend this book to all parents who want to evangelize their children. It's a great idea for a gift! 😉

Would recommend to any Christian parent! Basically a step-by-step, all-situations-addressed guidebook to raising your children to know Christ. Absolutely love it and plan to read it again and again to glean more. Dr. Beeke is a wise, wise man.

Quite good. Highly recommended even to Sunday school teachers as they seek to educate the children of the church in the knowledge and fear of God.
Some sections are unfortunately too prescriptive such as avoiding television in the home. That however does not distract from an overall good book.

This book is a MUST READ for Christian parents - particularly Christian fathers. We have a duty to evangelize our children and this book guides us along the biblical way of performing that duty well. I recommend this book to EVERYONE. It's worth far more than whatever you have to pay for it.
