Excellent Christian Books On Marriage and Raising Children

 

Books of A. W. Spalding and Belle Wood-Comstock

Love Courtship Marriage - Spalding

The Christian Home - Spalding

Published as a tract, there are only a few pages but the information provided is very meaningful.

 

The Christian Home Series In Five Volumes

Here are a few of the Christian Home Series books that are currently digitized and online. We became aware of them through discovering three short booklets on raising children that were exceedingly helpful. In searching for them we learned of the five volume series, and fortunately found a complete set through John Segar. They are sold through the ABC so you can get new copies if you wish.

Vol. 1: Makers Of The Home - Spalding

Subject: Youth, Newly Married and Parents

This is the first of a five-part series of books on coming together in marriage and raising converted Christian children. I highly recommend it. You can download the first chapter on what is a Christian home at this link.

Vol. 2: All About The Baby - Wood Comstock

Subject: First two years of the baby's life.

This is the second of a five-part series of books on marriage and raising Christian children. This volume was written by Belle Wood-Comstock.

Vol. 3: Through The Early Years - Spalding

Subject: Children from ages 3 to nine.

Published more recently as Through Early Childhood, this is a wonderful book on the younger years of childhood past the baby years. It is filled with much practical advise on how to raise children. 

Vol. 4: Boy And Girl

Preadolescence, ages 10 to 13.

We haven't read any of this yet, but are confident of quality material.

Vol. 5: Youth

Subject: Adolescence, 14-20.

This is new and  unknown at this time, but will be excellent.

 

Writings of E. A. Sutherland

Courtship and Marriage

Final paragraph: "In the work that faces us one of the greatest difficulties, one of the greatest hindrances to advancement comes as the result of hasty, ill-advised marriages. This is one of Satan's most, successful methods for thwarting the purpose of God for our young people. Every school should recognize its duty to prepare men and women to follow in the Savior's steps as workers for their fellow men. It should also train them to patiently wait for mature judgment in the selection of their partners in this work.
