How Not to Foul Up the Training of Our Children (MP3 Series)

by Al Martin

This series of audio messages is perhaps one of the most comprehensive and practical studies on Christian parenting available. At the same time it is not just for parents: it may be revolutionary in bringing adults to an understanding of themselves and the factors that have influenced their spiritual, social and emotional development. Delivered originally in 1991 during the adult Sunday School at Trinity Baptist Church, it has since gained some renown, and in some churches has been played during the Sunday School hour.
