Seven by Seven: 7 Essential Virtues to Teach Your Child Before Age 7 | Parenting Guide for Character Development | Perfect for Early Childhood Education & Family Bonding

Roo McKenzie's book is a work of brilliancy in a world filled with murkiness. It is not that his seven virtues are groundbreaking that makes that book so powerful; it is rather that, all seven virtues have been long since forgotten, generations ago, along with the very idea of cultivating virtue in young souls altogether. As a father of a five-year-old, the deeper I read into this book the more deeply convicting it became to me that I was not doing enough to prepare my child for an eternity with Jesus.The irony is that as a pastor I teach others to do these very virtues, so why I am not stressing them more at home? It is not that I don't do them with my son, all McKenzie's virtues are intutively Christian common sense, but what was convicting to me is the deliberateness and urgency Roo McKenzie helps the parent to see in building a lasting foundation in formative years while you have the chance.While Roo McKenzie's seven virtues may seem "old school" to some, the deeper you read what he is saying, and contemplate how they work together as a web of protection, the more you see the working of the wisdom of preventative redemptive grace that builds character to stand when chaos comes.I recommend this book to all Christian parents, grandparents, teachers, and pastors.
