Our Children & God's Attributes
11/19/2011 - Jeff Downs
A new book you parents, grandparents, those who desire to be parents or anyone else for that matter, will want to read is by Joel Beeke titled Parenting by God's Promises: How to Raise Children in the Covenant of Grace. Lest you think I'm simply trying to push my Presbyterian covenantal perspective here on AOMin check out the following endorsements:“To our great shame, far too many Christians raise their children without much thought as to what makes parenting distinctively Christian. Secular patterns of thought and habit have deeply infected Christian homes, and an antidote is urgently needed. Thankfully, it arrives as Parenting by God’s Promises by Joel Beeke. This is a truly helpful and healthy book for Christian parents—deeply biblical, theological, and practical. Parents, prospective parents, and churches will want to keep Parenting by God’s Promises close at hand.”
- Dr. R. Albert Mohler Jr., President, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary Louisville, Kentucky
“In an age of pragmatism, Joel Beeke is a drink of fresh, cool theological water. Raising children is about more than just surviving until they leave home; Beeke reminds us that Christian parents must view their roles in the broader context of God’s redemptive work. Our goal must be raising children who, by God’s grace, come to know and follow the Lord who has redeemed us and called us to Himself. This is a daunting task, and parents need all the help they can get. For those desperate to hear a clear, thoughtful, biblical, theological, Reformed treatise on the subject, Parenting by God’s Promises is a valuable read. ”
- Dr. Voddie Baucham, Pastor of preaching, Grace Family Baptist Church Spring, Texas
This new book on divine simplicity should interest some of you God without Parts: Divine Simplicity and the Metaphysics of God’s Absoluteness, by James Dolezal (a Baptist, by the way). Forward is written by Paul Helm.
And I know I've mentioned this one in a previous post, but it is now available and will be well worth the purchase.
One more, you may want to read this article by Andrew Moody titled "That All May Honour the Son: Holding Out For A Deeper Christocentrism" in the latest edition of Themelios (Nov. 2011).
