Fair warning: This book may make those of you with tender hearts - cry... hard.

Not all of us are called to be an advocate for children but all of us who follow Christ should do everything they can to stand up for and help any child who is not being treated the way they should - even if all we can do about that treatment is pray!

No. It's not enough to just be a good parent to your own children, although that is one good way to show others how children should be treated.
It's also very important to raise up our children the way we want them to raise up their own.

If more parents were properly informed of how to be the parent that God calls us to be, there would be a lot less children in need of wonderful organizations like the Big Oak Ranch.
I wholeheartedly recommend this book to EVERY parent! Having said that, it really doesn't matter if you have children yet or not and it doesn't matter if you have children but only boys...

Boys need the principles in this book just as much as girls. They also need to know to look for a young woman with all of these principles to marry one day. And they need to know how to incorporate these principles in their own children one day.
I feel it would be beneficial reading for parents who might not have had the best childhood themselves.

After reading this book with tears running down my cheeks, I realized that I was just as much in need of these principles as my daughter. I have spent so much of my life thinking very little of myself - because I listened, far too much, to the people in the world. Unfortunately the world is, far too often, full of people who do everything they can to drag you down.

And I didn't have a clue that I needed to be praiseworthy, righteous, stable... I never knew how important it was to have a servant's heart or Christ-like character. Nobody taught me - and it wasn't really my mother's fault either because nobody taught her either. And my dad is another story that I won't go into here...

But since I became a mother, I have finally begun to follow God's leading in my heart and in my life and with that has come a greater understanding of what being a mother means according to his word.
And I feel that this book will be a tremendous help in that endeavor. As it would be for any other parent who is trying to raise a Proverbs 31 woman!


While I did receive this book free in exchange for an honest review,
I plan to purchase as many of John Croyle's other books as I can find because...
100% of the author's proceeds from his books goes to the children at BIG OAK RANCH!
