Customer Reviews

Great Book!

I love this book and reccomend it to all parents! My husband read it to me every night during the last month of my pregnancy with our first child. Reading this book brought us closer together. Also, there is LOTS of scripture in this book which most "Christina" books are lacking! -Mrs. Christina Cosgrove

The Author's Son

This book is written from the heart, based on the experience of raising six kids, of whom I am one. If and when I ever have kids, you can be sure I will break out my signed copy and dig through it diligently. I owe a great debt of gratitude to my parents and would like to pass along to my kids the many gifts they have given to me. A Father's Reward contains a wealth of practical do's and don't and is so entertaining I have read portions of it many times. I can also vouch for the fact that it is all true. The publisher at the time of A Father's Reward's release was focused on fathering, thus the title, but this book is great for mothers as well. I heartily recommend it! - Matthew P. Downer"No father, after reading this book, could ever say he doesn't know how to be a dad." - Dr. Howard Hendricks - Distinguished Professor, Dallas Theological Seminary-----To find out what the Downer Family is up to these days go to dnaministries.

Father's Reward

I gave this book to my son. After he read it his wife (my daughter-in-law) gave me a big hug thanking me for giving it to him. She and the kids had benefitted from my sons application of the Biblical truth in this book to his life.

A marvelous, entertaining look at raising a family

I've read a great many How-To-Raise-A-Family-In-Christ books, but this one is special. It's fascinating and fun, especially the anectodes laced throughout the book. It seemed at times that his family was too good to be true, but that, I suppose, is the point - working hard at doing the truly Christian thing can reap great and wondrous rewards.
