Genesis of a Legacy: Raising Godly Children in a Ungodly World
People often mistakenly get caught up in the idea of leaving a financial inheritance for their children, instead of the true responsibility of raising children to love God first and foremost-- the only legacy of value. Drawing on their own personal experiences as fathers and having been raised by parents who instilled a legacy of faith within them, popular creation speaker Ken Ham and his brother Steve share these important life strategies in this unique new parenting book. They give great practical advice from their own experience in parenting a combined seven children, with the goal of instilling a foundation and legacy of faith within each. Ignoring the common focus of a traditional inheritance, Ken and Steve reveal a powerful new vision for leaving a legacy of faith for future generations. From where kids should be educated to how to instill them with the Word from an early age, this book is a great guide for parents with children of any age. Discover the foundation, the components, and how you can begin building a legacy for your family today.

From 1987 to 1993, Ham worked for the Institute for Creation Research, and in 1994 set up what in 1995 became Answers in Genesis (AiG), a creation ministry dedicated to "upholding the authority of the Bible from the very first verse."

A wonderful read! This book is not full of how-tos or guarantees that if you do this x,y, or z will happen. Instead it is full of truth about what God expects from parents in regards to raising their children. It emphasizes our responsibilities and encourages the Christian parent to practice what is taught in Scripture.

I have learned that we all leave something behind when we leave this world. It is better to leave a good Godly legacy than all the money in the world.
