I was very surprised to read this book and discover just how easy it is to bring Christianity down to a childs level and enforce good principals for our children in everyday traditions and in yearly special traditions. I coming not from a Christian home as a child, found the task of introducing things to my children very burdensome indeed, but it really does not have to be.

This book has really opened my eyes to see how fun and encouraging it can be to train up a child to understand and desire a relationship with God. Not just to brush up on traditional bible stories, but to really make them come to life in a childs level. Not just for young children, but also to allow the bible truths to expand and become deeper as the childs level of understanding grows with the child.

I am truly looking forward to adopting some of the ways Mrs. Piper has taught things to her children and making them our own for our family. To many times we let our past dictate what we can and cannot do with our children, instead of keeping the good and shifting through things to bring truths alive and let the fiction slide away. We let everything slide.

I really enjoyed reading this practical book and being open to all of the possibilities it has presented to me and my family. Even now my husband is sitting on the couch reading and I can’t wait to sit with him and discuss how we can bring more traditions into our lives and how these traditions can enrich our lives and bring us closer to God. Thank-you Mrs. Piper for this book.
