This is the companion workbook for the video and audio series 'Growing Kids God's Way.' It is the third in a six-part series that has gained national and international recognition for its highly practical approach and common sense application for today's parents. The Ezzos offer biblically based solutions that work. 'Along the Virtuous Way' is the core curriculum of the Ezzos' presentation. Here the emphasis is on reaching the heart of children with the virtues and values that flow out of the character of Christ. The Ezzos' unique discipleship approach produces morally responsible and biblical responsive children who are kind, courteous, respectful, confident, sensitive to others, obedient to parents and whose lives are compelling testimony of the Christian faith.

Made having children a true Joy! THANK YOU Gary & Ann Marie!!

Made having children a true Joy! THANK YOU Gary & Ann Marie!!
It's so wonderful to see that other people were able to get the same benefits my family got by reading and following this program. I believe this is truly inspired by God himself and that Gary and Ann Marie will be blessed for offering it to the world. I am a 35 year old mother of 9 beautiful well behaved children. My husband and I started this program when our second child was born and he was sleeping through the night at 7 weeks old. I was amazed. Every one of my children sleep through the night before they are 9 weeks old, they are healthier than average and they are well behaved, loving, happy children....and I can't leave out beautiful. Because of the success we had with the infants, we followed the entire program and loved and applied what we learned. Everywhere we go we get compliments about how well behaved and sweet they are and we owe thanks to the Ezzo Family. We enjoy life so much and are able to take part in everything life has to offer and I am very confident that all of my children will make a positive difference in the world because we were able to teach them respect, love, and honor among many other principles that make life wonderful. I highly recommend this program!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Practical with lots of wisdom

I appreciate the easy format this books takes as you follow along on the DVD. I also glad for the practical advise given on the variety of parenting topics addressed. It is from a strong Christian perspective, which I appreciate, and also has lots of very practical ideas or suggestions.

This is the second time I am going through this class, though as a mentor rather than a parent with young children. My youngest daughters (17 and 19) frequently attend and give great practical insight on how this approach was beneficial- or not:). It is fun to see their interest in learning more about this approach the closer they get to becoming parents themselves!

There are a lot of materials out there for growing up christian children but this is by far the best there is. But first I would recommend that to reap the most from this book, do it in a group setting with a leader. This is not to say that parents cannot glean much from doing it by themselves but the most can be gleaned from doing it with ohers on a weekly basis using all the materials and having others input.
I cannot say which chapter is most helpful because they all build on each other and by the time you are finished with the course you feel like you are really prepared to be the best parents you can be to those precious children that the Lord entrusted to you. And even if this is not your first child, please do the course anyway.
OH, and if I can recommend - start a Grandparents class - afterall, they are a big part of growing up the children also!

17 years ago is when i first listened and studied this curriculum for Biblical upbringing of children. Doing the best I could with my 11 year old, then when my boys were born shortly after from my second marriage, I seriously don't know how I would have made it through everything!!! Today, my 11 year old is now 28 and has her first baby, and actually asked for this as a gift!!! She appreciates the values and principles from this teaching and wants to make sure to study before her son is too old.....i am so proud of her!!! This is not easy, but so worth it!! Thank you Gary and Ann Marie!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Resource to review over and over
Reviewed in the United States on September 10, 2012

I think you can spend your entire parenting years working to implement or refine the teachings in this book, because there is so much material. But even if you just take a few nuggets of information from this book, it is still very valuable. We went thru this book and video series in a Sunday school class and took 2 weeks for each chapter. It was a long series but you cannot implement everything they teach in this book in a short amount of time. The feedback from many parents was that they wished they'd had this information earlier in their parenting years. To me, that says five stars, right!? The sooner you start to use this material with your children, the better. Best recommendation is go thru material slowly (you cannot do everything at once) and review it often. It is the only way to really practice what they teach you here.

5.0 out of 5 stars Timeless treasure
Reviewed in the United States on February 11, 2015

This book is a bit older but is timeless. It is helping my husband and I raise two high-energy and sometimes defiant boys. At times, I find it hard to consistently discipline, as punishing our boys breaks my heart. But, I refer back to this book regularly, and it supports me. And, the recommendations for discipline have been effective. My boys are young (2 and 3 1/2), but I can already tell that we are laying a foundation for great relationships as they grow older. I appreciate how this book applies biblical principles in a way that is organized and easy to follow.

4.0 out of 5 stars Easy to read with practical life application
Reviewed in the United States on March 24, 2015

As a young Christian parent I am always evaluating suggested parenting skills. This book is one of the best I have found out there to not only teach my children about God, but to also teach them morals, values, and respect for themselves and others. As with anything, it is not perfect, and some methods and suggestions do not work for my family, or I have found other ways that work better for my specific child. But I gained a vast amount of practical ideas from reading this book. It is important to read this with an open heart and a discerning eye, and know that every child is different, and their upbringing should be handled accordingly.

I found lots of good information in this book. From the negative reviews, I think most of the people who did not like the book are not going to like any biblically based book. I decided to try the book after reading those reviews, mainly because everyone seemed to either love or hate it. I did think it had lots of good ideas though. Just started with some of it and our 2 1/2 year old. We were at wits end. So far, seems to really be helping.
