Very Inspiring and Authentic!!!
The wisdom in this book is not just head knowledge but I've witnessed them being practiced by the authors themselves and by genuine followers of Jesus and that's what makes it very inspiring and at the same time authentic. It's very encouraging to follow their example especially when you understand whom they are following and imitating. The best example is no one else but the Lord Jesus. Jesus's example bleeds (Chistlikeness) in this book. Going back to the Creator's manual for family is what anybody and every family needs. And that's what will transform every person and every family, the basic unit of society and the entire nation as a whole.
P. S. Pastor Peter and Deonna Tanchi example has been instrumental in my decision to homeschool my 2 daughters (they also talked about homeschooling here). I know that when we practice the biblical principles of this book, by God's grace our lives will also be transformed and we will be able to leave a lasting legacy to our children.
