About the Authors

Paul and Linda have been married for more than 30 years and have been raising children for all but one year. These years have humbled and challenged them, taught and sanctified them.

Family life has been enriching. The joy from their eight children deepens even further with their grandchildren.

Principles & Practices of Biblical Parenting carefully presents the teachings they have observed in God’s Word and how these truths affected the way they raised their children.

They also share practical ways they have guided their children in various situations from tots to teens. Many personal accounts show how the same biblical teachings now shape a new generation.

Their whole family has benefited from the instructions in God’s Word: a great marriage, good children, and a godly family. This is what our Lord desires for all of us.
