This is a brilliantly readable book from Honest Conversationblogger Annie Willmot.

This hardback Care for the Family book is filled with wonderfully encouraging short chapters.

Here’s another little book in the ‘Raising Kids’ series – this one addresses the issue of self-sufficiency/self-dependence in our 21st century Western culture, and how we can nurture our kids to fear God as the One above all creation, yet also know the security of being God’s dearly beloved, intimately-known, intricately-created children. Like the ...

If you have time for a slightly longer read than the above book, this one is what to go for! It still won’t take you long (the author claims an hour, although I think it would take a few!), but covers all the important basics of a thriving family life: time, communication, discipline and so on. You may think it sounds obvious, but it’s surprising h...
