Two thousand years ago, Jesus of Nazareth made His dramatic appearance on planet earth. In a few short years He lived the most profound and compelling life of all time. Before He left, He launched a movement that would be called the “Way” by those who were His followers. The Way offered a path of living, and a way of being that was the antithesis of all that the selfish, violent, and oppressive Roman empire had to offer. The people of the Way practiced love in a world of hate, they brought aid to the weak and helpless, and they turned the world upside down. Sadly, something terrible happened to the Way, and it was transmogrified into a religion called Christianity.

William, and Catherine Booth successfully raised eight children, all of whom grew up to be active ministers of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. In this book, William provides a blueprint for raising godly children in an ungodly world. Since the book was written in 1884, no doubt, some of his suggestions may seem “legalistic” and archaic in the moral and cultural relativism of the 21st century, but the truths that he teaches, and the clarity that he brings to the task set before all Christian parents, makes this book a must read for all parents who want their children to grow up as followers of Jesus Christ.
