Grab a copy of John Rosemond's Parenting by The Book: Biblical Wisdom for Raising Your Child, and join me for some summer reading.We'll kick off on June 1 and read one chapter each week through August 17. Every Monday I'll post an update on this blog and encourage you all to comment, sharing your thoughts, questions, experiences, etc. The chapters vary in length, but I'm sure we'll still have time for some page-turning beach reading.
Not that this book won't be a page-turner. It's been called "a masterpiece" and one of "the best common-sense guides[s] to parenting."
The book is available from amazon.com and Christianbook.com for about $15 (amazon's price is slightly higher, but if you join our Proverbs study and buy that book, too, you can get free shipping! more info on that soon!) I also have several copies available, and if the price is too steep for you, we can work out a deal. I'm much more eager to have interested, engaged moms participating than in recouping every penny.
So here's what to do: if you're in, sign up by clicking "post a comment" below, and submit your name, # of kids & their ages, and your city & state. Also, let me know if you come across the book anywhere locally or if you happen to find a better deal. You do not need a Google/Blogger ID to post comments, but having one can enhance your blogging experience - lol. For example, with an ID you can request to have others' comments sent to you by email, so you can monitor the discussion without constantly checking the blog (this is great with a small group such as this - I learned quickly not to request this on Beth Moore's blog - she gets thousands of comments per posting!) If all this is Greek to you, don't worry - I'll make you an expert in no time! I do recommend subscribing to this blog via email (look for the link in the margin at left) so you'll get the weekly update in your inbox rather than having to remember to check the site. The email message you'll get provides a link to the posting so you can click through to add your comments.
Once you've signed up and gotten your copy of the book, just hang out and wait for the launch on June 1. In the meantime if you have any questions about anything - the book, how to post comments, how to access the blog, etc. - do not hesitate to ask.
