In the Garden of Eden, there was only one "No." Everything else was "Yes."

Look Inside the Book or Listen on Canon+

In this short book on Christian childrearing, Douglas Wilson points out that we have a Father who delights in us and makes it easy for us to love and obey Him. If that is the kind of Father we have, shouldn't we earthly parents do the same? Wilson explains how parents should not just try to get their kids to obey a set of rules or to make their house so fun that following the rules is always easy. Instead, he calls for parents to instill in their kids a love for God and His standards that will serve them well all their days.

This book also features an appendix in which Doug and his wife Nancy answer various parents' questions about various applications of the principles discussed in this book.

You can also purchase this as an audiobook here, on audible,* on SCRIBD, and wherever audiobooks are sold.

What People Are Saying

"Back to my opening question: Would I give this book to my own daughter as advice on parenting? Yes. Why Children Matter will point parents to Jesus and help them think about parenting in a gospel-centered fashion.... The gospel is to be applied and lived out in our homes. This matters most, beyond methods and specific practices." -Gregg Strawbridge, The Gospel Coalition

"Doug is a father and a grandfather. He’s also a pastor. He’s been around a while. He’d done some things and he’s seen some things. His reflections on raising children draw on the scriptures, naturally. But they are seasoned with the wisdom of years. Without that you might as well save your money just stick to your Bible and a concordance. But the book is worth the money because this is tested wisdom; not tested in laboratories–those antiseptic things, but in the messy places we call households." -C.R. Wiley, Patheos, author of Man of the House

"Here are two useful takeaways. One, 'Love God, love what you are doing, and love the people God gave you to do it with.' That’s worth thinking about. And two, 'Remember that God gave Adam and Eve a perfect garden: there was a world full of yes, and there was only one no.'" -Susan Olasky, WORLD

Douglas Wilson is a pastor in Moscow, Idaho, a father of three, and grandfather of seventeen. He is the author of numerous books, including Decluttering Your Marriage, Future Men, and How to Exasperate Your Wife.

Does the job well
Material Type: Recycled Fiber
Bought others and keep coming back they aren’t Scott. I like that it’s thick but not too thick. It’s not too soft but it does the job well. Other rolls also say they have the same amount of squint they don’t go as far. Worth the money

Good price and good quality
Material Type: Recycled Fiber, Material Type: Recycled Fiber
I have been subscribing to this Scott Professional toilet paper for over ten years, and it has never disappointed. The 100% recycled fiber rolls are durable and absorbent, and the 2-ply construction offers the comfort and quality we expect from a premium toilet paper. The bulk packaging and subscription model are extremely convenient, delivering every four months—exactly when we need to restock—so we never run out. Over the years, I’ve found this toilet paper to be consistently reliable, making it perfect for long-term use in our household. The product provides excellent value for money, especially considering the combination of quality, eco-friendliness, and bulk quantity. I also appreciate the punctual delivery and ease of subscription management, which eliminates any worry about running low. Whether for home or office use, I highly recommend Scott Professional 2-ply toilet paper for anyone looking for a practical, high-quality, and eco-conscious option that keeps bathrooms well-stocked without hassle.

Better than regular scotts brand
Material Type: Recycled Fiber
It is 2 ply it's not super soft but it's not paper hard either. It's a blend of both. It is absorbent. Septic safe. Does not stick to ur bottom. Lasts much longer. Not so thick but thicker and softer than regular scotts brand.
