Bøger af John Stevens Cabot Abbott

The sequel to the famous and popular volume "The Mother at Home" by the same author. John S.C. Abbott (1805-1877) devoted his life to writing books with children and young people in mind. In his own words, "This book is intended not for entertainment, but for solid instruction. I have endeavoured, however, to present instruction in an attractive form to gain the attention of the young. Though the book is particularly intended for children, or rather for young persons, it is hoped that it will aid parents in their efforts for moral and religious instruction."The subjects covered are: RESPONSIBILITY, DECEPTION, OBEDIENCE, RELIGIOUS TRUTH, PIETY & TRAITS OF CHARACTER. The book is filled with examples drawn from real life that will speak directly to the heart of the child who cares for his never-dying soul. A true classic!

"Long esteemed as one of the most valued works from the 19th century on the art of mothering and the glory of the work of the mother at home. For any girl who was raised without much discipline and in need of instruction on proper discipline of her own children, this is a superb guide. Rarely in print and worth obtaining at any price. Christian mothers who want biblical counsel on Christian child rearing will find this book valuable." -Grace and Truth Books"The object of this book is practical utility, not literary effect. It is written for mothers in the common walks of life. There are many mothers, in every village of our land, who are looking eagerly for information respecting the government of their children. It is hoped that the following treatise may render them some assistance." from the Author's Preface
