In Raising Up a Family to the Lord, Elder Gene R. Cook, a member of the First Quorum of the Seventy of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, answers these and many other questions parents have about how to bring up their children. While he has carefully researched the scriptures on the subject, this book is much more than a theoretical rehearsal of doctrine. It is a solid, practical, hands-on reference book for families that includes nearly one hundred stories and examples-most of them from the author's own family-that illustrate the principles in action.
Elder Cook discusses such family-related topics as praying effectively; reading the scriptures with understanding; exercising faith; keeping the commandments; solving temporal problems; getting children to work; managing finances; organizing family meetings, projects, and activities; teaching repentance and discipline; and teaching love and service to others.
