This section of discipleheart is dedicated to helping families experience all the blessings that God intended. We are told that "Every family in the home life should be a church, a beautiful symbol of the church of God in heaven." {Lt104-1897.10}. We are also told "The training of children constitutes an important part of God’s plan for demonstrating the power of Christianity." {Ms49-1901.22} Being a parent I have always been interested in the subject. I have read many books on the subject, including Adventist Home and Child Guidance. Much greater interest came, however, as I was traveling home from India in November of 2016 and had the time to read multiple complete articles on the subject of the Christian family. Since that time in 2016 I have read more than 100 articles. I have been in awe of what I have read. I have been struck by a sense of urgency for families that I had not perceived in the past. I noticed a positive approach that came through all of the articles. I learned about how Ellen White raised children, some of whom were not her own, and in her words, had "perfect success." This is a timely subject and I hope to share some of the things that I have found that have been so helpful.—Dan
