▶ DESCRIPTION
Train up a child in the way he should go; and when he is old, he will not depart from it." Proverbs 23 6.
I suppose that most professing Christians are acquainted with the text at the head of this page. The sound of it is probably familiar to your ears, like an old tune. It is likely you have heard it, or read it, talked of it, or quoted it, many a time. Is it not so?
But, after all, how little is the substance of this text regarded! The doctrine it contains appears scarcely known, the duty it puts before us seems fearfully seldom practiced. Reader, do I not speak the truth?
▶ CONTENTS
1. Introduction
2. First, then, if you would train your children rightly, train them in the way they should go, and not in the way that they would.
3. Train up your child with all tenderness, affection, and patience.
4. Train your children with an abiding persuasion on your mind that much depends upon you.
5. Train with this thought continually before your eyes—that the soul of your child is the first thing to be considered.
6. Train your child to a knowledge of the Bible.
7. Train them to a habit of prayer.
8. Train them to habits of diligence, and regularity about public means of grace.

12. Train them to a habit of always redeeming the time.
13. Train them with a constant fear of over-indulgence.
14. Train them remembering continually how God trains His children.
15. Train them remembering continually the influence; of your own example.
16. Train them remembering continually the power of sin.
17. Train them remembering continually the promises of Scripture.
18. Train them, lastly, with continual prayer for a blessing on all you do.

▶ AUTHOR
Ryle was a strong supporter of the evangelical school and a critic of Ritualism. He was a writer, pastor and an evangelical preacher. Among his longer works are Christian Leaders of the Eighteenth Century (1869), Expository Thoughts on the Gospels (7 vols, 1856–69), Principles for Churchmen (1884). Ryle was described as having a commanding presence and vigorous in advocating his principles albeit with a warm disposition. He was also credited with having success in evangelizing the blue collar community. His second son, Herbert Edward Ryle also a clergyman, became Dean of Westminster.

I think "The Duties of Parents" only comes in at about 40 pages or so, but this little book is better than some much longer parenting books I have read. Ryle makes good use of his short presentation in making parents aware of what they should be doing to ensure that their children are raised in a godly way.The entire premise of the book centers around Proverbs 23:6, which says "Train up a child in the way he should go; and when he is old, he will not depart from it." Some of the duties that Ryle states parents have is to train children in the way that they need to go, not in the way they want to, to train children with all love and affection, to train them by our actions and not just our words, to train them by considering their soul first, to train them to a knowledge of the Bible and how to pray, and more.
You can feel the weight of Ryle's passion as you read his words, and I found myself stopping several times throughout to pray for God's grace to enable me to put his words into action.
You won't regret purchasing this book, and you will be glad that it is short, as you will probably want to reread it often as a refresher on how God would have us raise our children. The book doesn't take long to read, so it is perfect for frequent review.

The Duties of Parents J C Ryle Collection Book 4 edition by J C Ryle Religion Spirituality eBooks Reviews
If you're not new to the bible and already understand the basics of Christian living, this book may not do much for you. There are a number of good pearls that made it worth the purchase but overall, I didn't get much in the way of concrete recommendations on how to manage behavioral problems. It's more of a general overview of how to be a Christian parent.
Convicting! Wow, what an awesome read. Short book and to the point! Every parent should read this since all the responsibility is on our shoulders! We have to make sure we get things right so that our children can follow by our example. BEST BOOK ever on the topic.
Very good book for new or seasoned parents. It really helped me better understand my responsibilities as a parent to my child.
A concise theology of the duties of parents, this is taken out of a larger work. The brevity of this tract is unusual for Ryle, but the thoroughness of treatment and no-excuses approach we have come to expect from him is intact.
Although a few of his wording s are dated (written in 1888), most of his observations of the human heart are quite relevant today. Especially in loving our children, leading by example, and idleness (read obsessive use of smartphones movies tv etc instead of working and spending time with and training our children).
Short and simple, yet full of the wisdom both of the fear of God, and the experience of living. Ryle is as rich a teacher as you can find, and his was of making a simple point on hard matters is rare indeed. Anywhere you poke this little book, the Bible bleeds out. Make no mistake, however. In spite of the Puritanical biblical piety, this book expresses a fatherly love for the children of those he is writing to that is hardly rivaled in any book I've read in our time.
I have often heard Proverbs 226 quoted, but I have never heard, to the best of my knowledge such an exposition as this in this short book (essay). There is so much insight given by J.C. Ryle regarding this verse and the immense responsibility parents have as stewards of the gift that children are from God. I have been especially impacted by the question that Ryle states concerning all that is done regarding my responsibility as a father, as one who is to teach my sons how to follow the Lord, "How will this affect their souls?" How will my love for God affect their souls to love God too? How will my discipline toward them affect their souls to understand God's discipline in the things they do in disobedience? How will my example of faith in God affect their souls to place their faith in God as well?
This book has impacted me more than I could ever have imagined and while I know that I am doing my best to be a good father in leading my children, I understand now how much better I need to be, in teaching and training my children in the knowledge of God and to live in a manner that pleases Him too. If it's my aim to know the Lord better on a daily basis and to live for Him in greater obedience, I must teach my children the same. I cannot just allow myself to think they will observe my ways and follow my example without my dutiful diligence of teaching them how.
I have highlighted probably nearly 80% of this book and it will be a book that I will want to read often throughout the year, to keep my heart and mind afresh concerning the instructions given.
The minutes, hours and days I have with them may be many and they must be used wisely and for their profit and those days must be accumulated into years of discipleship training for their lifetime when they go and live as adults in the world.
I think "The Duties of Parents" only comes in at about 40 pages or so, but this little book is better than some much longer parenting books I have read.
