Successful Christian Parenting
Overview
More than ever, Christians need to know what the Bible actually teaches about parenting, and put it into practice. In Successful Christian Parenting, pastor/teacher John MacArthur presents time-proven principles of biblical parenting clearly and carefully to help parents make sense of their duties before God and to bring up their children in the ways of the Lord.

“Your top-priority job as a parent, then, is to be an evangelist in your home. You need to teach your children the law of God; teach them the gospel of divine grace; show them their need for a Savior; and point them to Jesus Christ as the only One who can save them. If they grow up without a keen awareness of their need for salvation, you as a parent will have failed in your primary task as their spiritual leader.” (Pages 44–45)
“Success in Parenting Is Measured by what the Parents Do, Not by what the Child Does” (Page 19)
“I’m speaking of the child’s inborn inclination toward evil.” (Page 31)
“The truth is that such people are not a product of something their parents did to them. They are products of what their parents did not do to them.” (Page 34)
“The most persistent source of temptation is not the world or the devil, but the flesh.” (Page 41)
