Are We There Yet?

Marjorie Burch Brothers · 1998
91/100
👍 Worth It

Marjorie Burch Brothers covers the practical terrain of everyday parenting — picky eaters, tantrums, getting along with others, teaching financial responsibility — and weaves faith into each topic naturally rather than as an afterthought. A chapter on leading a child to prayer and worship sits alongside advice on managing sibling conflict, which reflects the book's core conviction that spiritual formation and daily family life are the same project. The tone is warm and accessible, which matters for a parenting book; parents under stress do not need another academic text. The honest caveat is that Review & Herald Publishing has a Seventh-day Adventist heritage, which shapes the denominational framing and limits the book's visibility in other Christian communities. Independent critical coverage is also limited. For Adventist families and others comfortable with its theological home, it is a practical and faith-grounded companion for the parenting years.
