Look Inside the Book or Listen on Canon+

Many Christian parents oppose our godless American culture, but how many of us are willing to put our money where our mouth is?

In this short but spicy book, Douglas Wilson calls for Christian parents to remove their kids from public schools. Beginning with the commands in Scripture for parents to raise up their children in the fear and admonition of the Lord, he shows that parents must not send their children to be catechized by unbelieving teachers and peers.

Although he has many hard words for public schools, Doug pulls no punches on parents who assume that a Christian curriculum alone will fix all their problems. Parents need to train their kids’ minds, bodies, and hearts so that they are prepared for the real world. This is a high and difficult calling, but we can look to God’s promises to help us as we train our children.

Sturdy and easy to assemble.
Size: 31.5 Inch, Color: Rustic Brown
Remarkably easy to assemble, sturdy, looks great on my wall. My only complaint is that you can't really hang anything off of the top bracket -- the promotional photos show an item hanging from there, but they've used an item with a very strangely shaped handle to make it work. Booo. Still, great little shelf. Happy with it.

Great Spacesaver and looks good too.
Size: 31.5 Inch, Color: Rustic Brown
Bought this to free up counter space and cupboard space. And it does the job perfectly. Easy to assemble and install, but make sure you have another set of hands nearby cause it could be a little tough to install by yourself.

Very sturdy!
Size: 31.5 Inch, Color: Rustic Brown
I absolutely love these shelves. They were easy to put together and hang up and they look fantastic. I ended up having to use extra boards to screw it to the wall just because of the location of the wall stud, but you can't notice it at all, really. They are pretty big , the picture doesn't do it justice. I'm very pleased with this purchase.
