Parenting for Eternity

A Guide to Raising Children in Holy Mother Church

De: Conor Gallagher

Narrado por: Conor Gallagher

A trillion years from now, your child will be either in heaven or in hell. And this is only the beginning of eternity.

In light of this eternal perspective, the time is now, dear parent, to raise your child to live entirely for Christ and his church. The time is now to train your child in the Four Last Things, the spiritual life, the virtues of piety and humility, and the school of Calvary while shielding him from the errors of modernism, Protestantism, and much more.

Unlike most parenting books which focus exclusively on the body and this fleeting world, this short work focuses upon your child’s eternal soul. In this book, you will be challenged to see the eternal consequence of every single parental act - acts of commission and acts of omission.

"The Lord has said unto you, it is better that you have a millstone hung around your neck and that you be cast into the depths of the sea than for you, Dear Parent, to lead your little one astray" (Mk 9:41).

Very wonderful way to start thinking about parenting (and life)

Excellent book. Both a mile high look at the big picture of parenting with certain vignettes on how this would look in your life. He’s becoming one of my favorite authors.

wished I liked it

The jnformation in here is very much needed, but the tone is really bad and I found a bit repulsive. I got the feeling that the author looks down on most people and was a bit too ghoulish with hell. I believe in hell, which is why I'm reading this book. But wallowing in visions of your kid in hell isn't really helpful. I don't have a lot of time, so I rather he just get to the point of what I can do as a new parent who was raised outside the faith. The world is already pretty bad and people just need a bit of hope for their kids in a world full of discouragement. I don't want him to lie and deny he'll, but just have a bit more hope.

He is really hard-core about following the rules so much that I wonder how he can possibly believe that his unbaptised miscarriages are not hell. I lost a baby to miscarriage and its hard not knowing their fate. I hate it when people lie about hell not existing but I struggle with God being a tyrant and just throwing it to hell with no chance. I am a bit worried that his hard zeal leads his kids to lie about their faith. I like zeal, but his zeal isn't a good mix for the melancholy types. His zeal seems to have a bit too much sadism in it for my taste.
