The Third Book in the Family Series

God has designed each family to be a culture—with a language, customs, traditions, and countless unspoken assumptions. The culture of the family intimately shapes the children who grow up in it. It is the duty of the father to ensure that the shaping takes place according to biblical wisdom.

Some fathers establish a rebellious culture for their children and bring upon their children the wrath of God, sometimes for generations. Other fathers fail to establish any distinct culture, and outside cultures rush to fill the void.

Through the Messiah, God promised blessings to His people, "their children, and their children's children forever." The norm for faithful members of the covenant is that their children will follow them in faithfulness. The oddity should be children who fall away. Unless we reestablish faithful Christian culture in countless homes, we will never reestablish it anywhere else.

This book is part of Douglas Wilson's series of books on the family, which has helped many people trying to deal with the everyday messes that come with sinners trying to live under the same roof.

Perfect for snuffle dogs
Color: Blue Green Orange
If your pup/dog snuffles EVERYTHING or has a demanding intellectual stimulation food regime they set themselves this is for you! I have to roll out the mat above the floor to situation treats, but once it hits the floor my puppy is preoccupied for hours. She has so much fun sniffing through every element to find her treats. While the mat is easy to use I recommend rolling it back up immediately once most treats have been found to avoid chewing on the actual mat pieces (this could present a durability issue as the fabric is chewable). I use different flavored and textured treats throughout the mat as well as her normal dog food to keep her interested. Definitely worth the money if you have a snufflopogus puppy like I do.

Durable and engaging!!!
Color: Blue Green Orange
This has been a game changer! My dog all of a sudden started gently chewing on a couple of my shoes while I was at work. I set this out right before I leave for work. My shoes have been safe ever since!!!

My dog LOVES this!
Color: Blue Green Orange
My dog LOVES this thing! It keeps her busy for a good 45 minutes if she gets distracted, we use it to hide her food because she swallows it whole when we feed her in a bowl. So this has slowed her eating wayyyy down and has helped immensely in keeping her occupied. The quality is nice, i love that it’s felt, BUT it seems like if she scratches at it enough, the strings of the fabric come out and feels fuzzy. I’m not sure how to describe it but it looks like it might experience some pretty bad ware and tear after a while. I love how easy it is to set up, and the variety of folds help the food get stuck so that my dog can sniff and dig her way around. Very nice toy set up!

Great enrichment activity for dogs!
Color: Blue Green Orange, Color: Blue Green Orange
This mat provides excellent enrichment time for scent hounds. Our mini dachshund puppy loves finding treats hidden in the mat. It is also a very affordable option. Our puppy likes to play and sleep on it even when there aren’t treats in it. If your dog is an aggressive or obsessive chewer, I would only leave out when treats or food are hidden inside and then pick up because it will get damaged.

Great puzzle mat!
Color: Blue Green Orange, Color: Blue Green Orange
My boys love these snuffle mats. Since I bought them, they are always excited when I pull them from the cabinet. It keeps them busy for a while, and they don't eat their kibbles too quickly. It's simple to clean; I just put it in the washer and hang it to dry. Suitable for small dogs, such as my babies.
