For some reason, this book’s ISBN comes up under a wrong title (“We Must Obey God” by Samuel Waldron). This book is actually “Letters on Christian Education,” written by an anonymous mother as indicated in the description.
FIRST READ | The entire book includes elegantly expressed profound, thoughtful, and clear parental insights. Much of this mother’s perspective on parenting will sound strange to modern readers who are unacquainted with the duties of parents as articulated in Scripture, nevertheless, I am eager to introduce friends to this useful, manageable resource.
SECOND READ | This book was even better the second time through. The mother who wrote it makes piercing observations about the duty of parenting, the nature of children, and the vanity of the world. I am very thankful to have found this book.
