My Child His Child: Spiritual Blessings for Mothers and Families from the Ten Commandments

Every Christian mother knows the stress of trying to raise her child for Christ. How do the Ten Commandments apply to that child beyond the superficial legalistic disciplines? How do they apply to me? What does Christ and his sacrifice on the cross have to do with any of these laws? If you want to love God more with all of your heart and help your child to do the same this book will help point you in the right direction of Calvary. With stories of her own children and from her own life we can identify with the authors journey toward having a godly family dedicated to God. Spiritual blessings from Gods hand are evidenced and encouraged in these pages. My Child His Child is not only a sound exposition of the Ten Commandments but it is a window into Dianes spiritual growth in grace and that of her sons as well. While the focus seemingly is on her sons sinful failures and her own in response it really is on the graciousness of God in Christ who has given us his law to guide us in our walk with the Lord ever dependent upon his Holy Spirit working in his Word. --Jeffrey C.
