R. C Sproul's new book," Bound for Glory: A Practical Handbook for
Raising a Victorious Family
," is reviewed here.

From the review:"Veteran author R.C. Sproul Jr. understands that the war over the family begins with words, i.e. ideas and beliefs give rise to action. He knows that we must get back to basics: definitions, roles and responsibilities, and goals. As a product of the baby-boom himself, he is aware that not everyone means the same thing when they use particular words—words like: family, marriage, husband, wife, children, discipline, and education. Living up to its subtitle of being a “practical handbook,” Bound for Glory is nothing if not “practical.” Short on technical theological terms, but rich in wisdom and useful information, Bound for Glory doesn’t just explain the problem and lament over it. This book is about positive solutions, not simply critique and despair."
