Dr. Finnigan has written this little book to encourage and strengthen parents whose desire it is to have a Christ-honoring, Bible-based home. This book focuses on helping parents understand and "work through" their God-given challenge of child-rearing; yes, hopefully, without losing their spiritual sanity! It is in the midst of today's wicked, antichrist "atmosphere" that, by God's grace, Christian families must thrive. To say that we live in turbulent and challenging days is surely an understatement! This is especially true for those of us who desire to raise our children in a Christian environment. Particularly since the 1960s, the godless, satanic world system has progressively inundated our culture. Families have been "shattered" by divorce and rebellion, while churches suffer from spiritual lethargy and worldly intoxication. The influence of social media, smart phones, and the internet, which have subtly weakened the cohesiveness of family life. There is an insidious evil attack on Christian homes in light of the spirit of rebellion. The words, "Unthankful, unholy, and disobedient to parents" are prophetically

intensified in the "last days. (2 Timothy 3:1f)
