The Religious Nature and Biblical Nurture of God's Children - A Guide for Parents and Teachers (Paperback)

What is God's purpose for the lives of God's children? This is an essential question for any study of the nature and nurture of children. To answer these questions from a biblical perspective, one must understand the creational context for the universe, the people created to occupy that universe, and the task that draws the universe and people together. That context is found in two themes central to Scripture: kingdom and covenant. In discussing the biblical nurture of God's children, Fennema also addresses spiritual development, nurture and admonition within the family, instructive nurture, corrective nurture, and restorative admonition.
