The Bible “code” of the title refers not to a cryptogram, but to a set of standards – biblical standards for the proper raising of children.

Best-selling author and psychologist John Rosemond examines forty Bible verses and passages that make no overt mention of parenting matters and explains their relevance to a proper understanding of children and parental responsibilities. How does, for example, “love your neighbor as yourself” (Matthew 22:39) apply to raising children? The Bible Parenting Code contains a wealth of guidance for parents regardless of faith orientation.

In the final analysis, what the Bible has to say about children confirms commonsense, which is Rosemond’s stock-in-trade.
