Starting Families Right
Start right; end right. If we do things right from the beginning, then the quality of life is so much richer.
Many of us have not started out right. In each of those cases more time, energy, forgiveness and money is necessary to straighten out the mistakes.
Once a piece of metal is bent, it cannot be perfectly restored to its original tension and shape. We cannot emphasize enough our conviction that it is worth starting off the right way.
This burden to share these things with those starting off is so that your family can start off much better than ours.
With eight children, we have had to learn so many things. We see those things, good and bad, happen again and again. These many practical lessons are combined strong biblical teachings.
Godly Beginnings for the Family along with the questions at the end of each chapter make this material appropriate for discussion small group or a class with young families.

Godly Beginnings for the Family
Starting Families Right
Family Commitment
Parents' attitudes greatly dictate whether their children will be godly or caught in the snares of the world.
Family Planning & Birth Control
God says much more about so-called family planning than the average Christian believes.
Husband & Wife Roles
Great families are those in which husband and wife embrace their responsibilities as defined in God's Word.
God's Family Health Plan
Once we start looking at the scriptures, we are astounded how much God speaks about our health. God really does care for us. We need only to obey.
Preparations for Childbirth
Childbirth is a miracle. Now if we would only stop interfering with God's ways our births would be better and easier.
Tender Newborn Care
Care for the mother and child afterbirth is important. Detailed suggestions as well as routines are provided for both Mom and baby.
The Challenge of Child Training
Now that we have the child, how do we effectively train up a godly child? Start young!
Disciplining and Training Small Children
Come discover how to properly use discipline in the training of your young children.
Setting up Godly Routines for Young Children
Routines is our key to building training into a child's life. It works with one or ten children.
About us!
We (Paul & Linda) have been married 30 wonderful years and have been raising children for all but one year!
These years have humbled and challenged us, taught and sanctified us. This has not changed much with our present situation of four teens at home and homeschooling six children!
Family life has been enriching. The joy from our eight children deepens even further with visits from our first grandson.
We wanted to capture the main learning moments in our life with this book. We took a long time to learn these things and how God's Word impacts our lives. We hope you can learn and quickly profit from these life pointers shared in this book.
