most
for
your
kids?

A
good
job?
A

Marriage?
Perfect

A

The
goal

but
instead,
to
raise
men
and
women
the

need. 
 
Fifty

who
will
be
starting
schools,
and
making
laws,
and
preaching,
and
farming,
and
reporting
on
the
truth
no
matter
the
cost,
and
beheading
giants?
Our
kids.
Our
grandkids.

What
will
your

OUR KIDS HAVE GOD'S IMAGE.

THIS IS WHY WE MAY NOT RENDER OUR CHILDREN TO THE STATE. THEY BELONG TO GOD.

Biblical child-rearing is a gigantic custody battle between the state and Christ. We are disputing the custody of the next generation. Fifty years from now, who’s going to be fighting the battle? Our kids. Our grandkids. They’re going to be the ones in the front lines, and so we need to be equipping them now. At some point, we are not going to be in the battle anymore. The training, the allegiances, the loyalties, the information, the backbone—all of that needs to be handed on now.

Great title. Like the cover.

I started reading the book but then I am listening to it as well. Doug hits spot on the issues of the day. I am evaluating myself even though most of my sons are out of the house- and are just starting families. I am giving them this book as a resource. Right up there with future men.
