“Dad really believes the things that are in this book.”That's a line from the forward to this book, Big Truths for Young Hearts: Teaching and Learning the Greatness of God, by Bruce Ware. The forward was written by his two grown-up daughters, and they go further to say, “To parents: it may sound cliche, but we followed our father’s teaching in part because he practiced what he preached.” How's that for an endorsement?
I don't usually plug books I haven't read, but a) I had Ware as a professor for a class at Trinity, b) my brother had him for a professor/pastor/mentor/friend at Southern, c) one of our elders brought a copy of the book to our small group on Sunday night, and d) this morning our ministry assistant mentioned hearing these interviews below.
Of course, no (human) book will be the answer to all your parenting needs, but this could help. Just don't forget to "really believe the things that are in this book."
Here are a few radio interviews from Family Life Today with author Bruce Ware on his new book:
Introducing Your Child to God Are you helping your children know God? Bruce Ware, professor of Christian theology at Southern Baptist Seminary, urges parents to use the ordinary moments of life to introduce their children to God and grow disciples in the faith.
Sandbox Theology Do your children sense God's awesome power? Professor Bruce Ware, author of Big Truths for Young Hearts, encourages parents to use God's wonderful Creation and other everyday examples to give their children a sense of awe at the thought of God.
Helping Your Child Understand the Holy Spirit How, and what, do you teach your children about the Holy Spirit? Today Professor Bruce Ware helps equip parents to teach their children about the Holy Spirit in terms that even boys and girls can understand.
