The US Review of Books highly praised Elizabeth Len Wai’s “Children Do Come with a Manual” for being “a brief but heartfelt look at large issues that affect all who have children in their care”

Elizabeth Len Wai, a simple woman who was inspired to write this enlightening book, “Children Do Come with a Manual,” is the author. She shares crucial information about following God’s example in the parenting process. And the pleasures that come from cherishing the things that children give us.

This book implores parents and would-be parents to regularly use the Bible as a guide for the direction and wisdom necessary in raising a child into a follower of Christ Jesus and a successful adult, as well as our guide for living a rich, joyful, and fruitful life while here on this earth in preparation for an eternal life with Him after His return.

Through Bible study, parents and grandparents can discover what to teach their children. Children must comprehend such difficult ideas as the Trinity, the operation of the Holy Spirit, and how being kind to others can improve their world. Spiritual education entails learning and evolving, and free will is a dangerous concept that can deceive individuals into thinking they are in control. But choosing to love God and follow His rules is the best use of free will. The reward for parents who turn to the Bible for instruction is “in seeing their grown children living godly lives.”

Barbara Bamberger Scott from the US Review of Books acclaimed Elizabeth Len Wai’s “Children Do Come with a Manual”, saying that “Author Len Wai bases her sensible, sensitive narrative on personal experience and biblical teaching, seeking to banish the myth encapsulated in the old saying, “Children should come with a manual.” In fact, she asserts, there is a manual—the Holy Bible. It teaches that children are God’s creation and His gift. This includes even the scenario of rape, a situation that can still result in a child being wanted and raised with love.”

Here’s an excerpt from the US Review of Books that highlights:

“Len Wai is a self-described “grandma and great-grandma” who, thankful for her own family, writes for the betterment of all children and their parents, stressing the many gifts Christian believers are heirs to, such as love, faith, healing, and visions. Her book is a brief but heartfelt look at large issues that affect all who have children in their care, demonstrating the Holy Bible’s usefulness in all of life’s difficult and joyful happenings. It could easily serve as a “carry with” volume with salient reminders based on scriptural wisdom for further reference as new situations arise. Len Wai’s clear intent is to draw readers into the circle of religious faith, offering an enlivening focus for Christian-based workshops as well as individual study.”
