Dr. Joel R. Beeke serves as president and professor of systematic theology, church history, and omiletics at Puritan Reformed Theological Seminary; a pastor of the Heritage Netherlands Reformed Congregation; editor of Banner of Sovereign Grace Truth; editorial director for Reformation Heritage Books; president of Inheritance Publishers; and vice president of the Dutch Reformed Translation Society, all in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
"In an age of pragmatism, Joel Beeke is a drink of fresh, cool
theological water. Raising children is about more than just
surviving until they leave home; Beeke reminds us that Christian
parents must view their roles in the broader context of God's
redemptive work. Our goal must be raising children who, by God's
grace, come to know and follow the Lord who has redeemed us and
called us to Himself. This is a daunting task, and parents need all
the help they can get. For those desperate to hear a clear,
thoughtful, biblical, theological, Reformed treatise on the
subject, Parenting by God's Promises is a valuable read. "--Dr.
Voddie Baucham
"In this book, Dr. Joel Beeke provides information that is in
keeping with what we have come to expect from his preaching and
writing: biblically based information about parenting, practical
illustrations that really illustrate, and specific instructions
that will help people to know how to put the directives of
Scripture into practice. In this book, every Christian parent will
find solid, dependable, practical, biblical help for bringing
children up God's way. Dr. Beeke places a correct emphasis on the
centrality of God's grace and sovereignty, and the importance of
parental responsibility. Parents who are looking for a right
perspective and practical help for facilitating this right
perspective will find this book to be an excellent guide."--Dr.

"The defection of young people from the church is creating great
concern in our day. Oftentimes the solutions seem to exacerbate the
problem. Joel Beeke's book, Parenting by God's Promises: How to
Raise Children in the Covenant of Grace, is a sane, biblical word
in the midst of the chaos. The book blends a vibrant covenant
theology with wise, practical instruction. Moreover, it keeps a
balance between family and church in the nurture of our children.
This book is an important read for pastors, elders, parents, and
grandparents."--Dr. Joseph A. Pipa Jr.
"To our great shame, far too many Christians raise their children
without much thought as to what makes parenting distinctively
Christian. Secular patterns of thought and habit have deeply
infected Christian homes, and an antidote is urgently needed.
Thankfully, it arrives as Parenting by God's Promises by Joel
Beeke. This is a truly helpful and healthy book for Christian
parents--deeply biblical, theological, and practical. Parents,
prospective parents, and churches will want to keep Parenting by
God's Promises close at hand."--Dr. R. Albert Mohler Jr.
