A great read to encourage and help children obey the fifth commandment. Practical wisdom and insight from Pastor Brian De Jong on how to care for aging parents in a godly manner. The book was a series of Sunday School classes in De Jong’s church and the discussion questions at the end of each chapter are helpful in applying God’s Word and the living out our faith in all stages of life. Highly recommend.

Numerous bible quotes with a bit too much fire and brimstone preaching for me.
