Cheryl Dickow, speaker and author, deftly combines parenthood, scripture, and simple activities in an enjoyable, timely book. This latest edition of her first popular book of the same name, involves the reader more closely with relevant scripture meditations and weekly activities that make the chapter messages of priorities, judgment, fruits of the spirit, and blessings; among many others, truly come alive. Each chapter also includes an opportunity for journal entries. An excellent book that is both easy to read and quite insightful. "Raising Christian Children in a Secular World" uses a gentle approach in guiding parents to Scripture as the foundation on which to build successful Christian homes. Each chapter includes an activity that encourages parents to embrace such messages as responsibility, diligence, and compassion. Mrs. Dickow's honest tone lets the reader know that she, too, experiences the struggles of parenthood and shares with everyone the belief that turning to God's Word is the only answer.

Cheryl Dickow's book is a straight forward, clearly written guide for parents seeking answers while raising children in these difficult times.
Bible passages and life experiences blended with common sense and a touch of humor demonstrate how God instructs and guides parents every step of the way through His word.
Raising Christian Children in a Secular World should be in every home library. It is a reference, a guide and a source of comfort for every parent facing the challenging task of guiding their children toward God. |
Helpful, inspirational and practical.

| Cheryl Dickow's book provides many insightful and supportive tips to parents who feel challenged by the conflicting values of our secular world. Many bible passages are included to provide inspiration and biblically based principles to encourage and uplift those of us involved in the task of parenting. This book can be read and reflected upon many times. It is a JEWEL! |
Inspiring book!

Being a parent in this day and age can be difficult when your values don't mirror those of society. There are times when it would just be much easier to "give in" -- after all, if so many people think the trappings of society are right, why beat your head against the wall? Parents are under a lot of pressure, sometimes even from their own spouses, to let little things slide, but those little things add up to big ones in a hurry!
Cheryl's book offers the inspiration we parents need to "stick to our guns" and keep on reinforcing the values that we know are important in the long run, in our children's lives. Her references to scripture add even more "authority" and proof that raising Christian children is a right and good aspiration! I recommend it highly! |

| I was given this book as a present so I want to recommend it in the highest form as a gift for new parents! Start them off on the right path so that some of the pits and falls that come with raising children will be hopefully a little easier. So, first I recommend buying this book for yourself. Second I recommend as a present for all the parents you know! I love her books! I can't wait to see what she comes up with next! |
