ApParent Privilege (a book by Steve Wright)

I've started reading an excellent book on parenting. It's not about how to get your kids to behave. It's about how to obey God's command to be the primary spiritual influence in the lives of our children. It's called ApParent Privilege and is written by Steve Wright with Chris Graves. Wright has been influenced by the writings of a 19th century preacher named John Angell James. Here is a quote that I just read - something that Wright quoted from James on p.55 of ApParent Privilege.

"Here fix your center; here direct your aim; here concentrate your efforts, your energies, and your prayers. Remember, their religious instruction is your business. Whatever aids you may call in from ministers or teachers, you never must, you never can, you never should, delegate this work. God will hold you responsible for the religion of your children."
