You can find my full review at Quieted Waters.

“No amount of talking penetrates as deeply as example,” writes Elisabeth Elliot, and the pages of this book are permeated with that philosophy. Elliot frequently reminds the reader that this is simply a memoir of how one family raised honest, disciplined, godly children — it is not to be taken as a step-by-step how-to guide.

Epigraph
Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. These commandments that I give you today are to be upon your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. - Deuteronomy 6:5-7 NIV
The spirit of faith and piety of the parents should be regarded as the most powerful means for the preservation, upbringing, and strengthening of the life of grace in children. - Theophan the Recluse
Dedication
With love to Phil, Dave, Ginny, Tom, and Jim - heirs with me to the inestimable legacy of the home I have tried to describe.
First words
The upstairs front bedroom of the house where I spent most of the first nine years of my life was large and sunny, with a rocking chair in the bay window where Mother loved to sit to feed and rock her babies, to sing to us and tell us stories.
