Training Your Children to Turn Out Right

What does the Bible teach about raising children? Training your Children to Turn Out Right equips Christian parents with biblical principles for character development and spiritual growth to help their children turn out right.

Widely acclaimed and distributed, Training your Children to Turn Out Right is now in its fourth printing. Many Christian leaders have commented that it is the best book they have read on the subject. In keeping with Dr. Sorenson’s style, this book is easy to read, yet packed with in-depth Scriptural principles and illustrated with poignant illustrations from real life.

“In talking with Christian parents, there is often the sense that bringing up a child in today’s world is a big gamble. maybe they will turn out right and maybe they will not. And sometimes there is the idea that, ‘Well, the devil got them, and there was nothing we could do.’ Both of those ideas are categorically wrong.”

Training Your Children to Turn Out Right shows parents just how much they can do to make sure their children will continue living right as they become teens and young adults. The Bible, the Blueprint for all our lives, is truly the “instruction manual” so many parents wish they had for raising their children. Dr. Sorenson makes these biblical principles easy to understand with many interesting illustrations.

“This book is filled with the Word of God. Pastor Sorenson tells us what the Bible says, helps us to understand it and encourages us to obey it. And then he encourages us further by reminding us that ‘The principles of God’s Word are the complete answer to the needs of the training of our children.’
Every Christian parent in America should read this book.”

“It is with much enthusiasm that I recommend Pastor Dave Sorenson’s latest book Training Your Children To Turn Out Right.
He very skillfully weaves in many practical illustrations and ideas throughout the entire book that come not only from having read the Bible through 137 times, but from the experiences he has had in his ministries that span a quarter of a century.
Dr. Ed Johnson,
President, Minnesota Association of Christian Schools

“Twice Dave Sorenson hit the nail on the head. First, in describing the plight that many christian parents find themselves in. Second, in prescribing a plan of action that is clear, biblical, and proven.
The author, by his own proven example, shows how to apply the scriptural teachings of righteousness, discipline, consistency, and godly separation to the rearing of children to become teens and young adults that love, obey, and serve the Lord Jesus Christ.”
Dr. Dell Johnson,
Dean, Pensacola Theological Seminary
