I want to recommend to my readers that they quickly purchase a copy of R.C. Sproul Jr.’s important new book Bound for Glory: A Practical Handbook for Training Victorious Families. R.C. is more than the son of the most notable Presbyterian teacher in the world, he is one of the most passionate spokesmen and leaders in the the movement for Christian family revival. I have known R.C. for some time and remain impressed by his sincerity, his passion, and the principled stands he has been willing to take. Thousands of families have been blessed through his ministry, and now he is sharing his wisdom in this important new volume.
Bound for Glory begins with a conversation between father and son, R.C. Sproul, Senior and Junior, about the importance of leading families in a covenantal relationship with God. R.C. Sproul Jr. then discusses the implications of this covenantal relationship for husbands, wives, children, and the church family. He speaks especially to men as the leaders in their households, encouraging them to make God’s Work known to their families, to help their wives and children grow in godliness, and to take responsibility for the testimony of their family to others. The book ends with another conversation between father and son about the benefits of homeschooling and the role that parents should play in their child’s education. Bound for Glory will help you and your family be bound together as a covenantal family for the glory of God. This would make a good dinner-time or family devotional read-aloud book.
