My dear wife Mary spent scores of evenings working silently at my side in my study with me during the past year of pandemic restrictions pecking away at writing a book on a subject that has been burning in her soul for years. I am grateful to report that her new book—“Teach Them to Work: Building a Positive Work Ethic in Our Children” (Reformation Heritage Books, 224 pages)—which deals with both parental and practical examples, has finally arrived!
Our friend Paul Washer writes, “Mary Beeke has written a remarkable book on the privilege and art of raising children. It is theological, practical, insightful, helpful, and a delight to read. As I turned the pages, I felt as though I was reading from a Reformed or Puritan classic on the family that had been re-crafted by the pen of a contemporary writer and made accessible to all. I recommend this work without reservation — not only to parents but also to their children.”
