The War on Children

Trusted pastor and Bible teacher John MacArthur gives guidance for Christian parents seeking to raise godly, faithful children--in a culture that's increasingly hostile toward biblical values and God's plan for human flourishing.

An ancient Chinese proverb says, "One generation plants a tree, the next enjoys its shade." It is the calling of all Christian parents to plant and nurture the trees that will provide refuge and protection for their children--but Christian parents today are facing the unprecedented challenges of a culture that has been weaponized against children. Abortion threatens and devalues the lives of the unborn. Powerful forces have launched an all-out assault on the stability of the family, the credibility of traditional authority, and even the nature of children's very identity. In today's world, children are inundated with pressures and messages that actively undermine God's good plan for their lives.

In The War on Children, pastor John MacArthur raises the alarm about this relentless onslaught--and gives parents the biblical tools they need to protect the hearts, minds, and lives of their children. Turning the clear light of Scripture on the ideologies and trends that challenge biblical values today, MacArthur helps readers

• recognize the lies being sold to parents and children about identity, authority, sexuality, gender, family, and more;
• understand the Bible's teachings on all of these contested issues, providing a firm foundation in Scriptural truth; and
• identify practical strategies to make your home a refuge of peace, stability, and truth in an ever-shifting culture.

The War on Children is a source of hope and guidance for all parents seeking to provide a place of lasting refuge for their children in an age of confusion and deceit--and it will equip them for the crucial battle for their children's souls.
