Train Up a Child: Successful Parenting for the Next Generation

Have you ever considered that Yeshua’s directive in Matthew 28:19–20 entails a significant mission for parents? Yeshua told his talmidim (disciples) to make other disciples and to teach them to obey his commands. Surely our children should be our first disciples. They need to be continually challenged to draw near to Yeshua. Drawing on biblical and traditional Jewish sources, Train Up a Child gives fresh insight into how parents can discipline their children in the ways of the Lord.

Dr. Switzer does not present us with mere theory in his book, but also time-tested wisdom that has worked for countless parents.
—David J. Rudolph

Train up a Child is a book that every Bible-believing grandparent will want to send to their children.
—Paul Lieberman, Publisher, The Messianic Times

In his eminently readable book, Daniel Switzer addresses all the important aspects of parenting. He makes liberal use of both Scripture and rabbinic materials without overwhelming us. . . . Enjoy and learn!
—David H. Stern, Translator, Complete Jewish Bible
