Recently while visiting southern
California and preaching twice daily in the Central Baptist Church of
Pamona, California, in the greater Los Angeles area, I was riding down
the freeway with Pastor Batema when the conversation suddenly turned
toward the rearing of boys. For several minutes I spoke with Pastor
Batema concerning what I think is the proper way to rear children. He
suddenly looked at me with a serious countenance and said, "Dr. Hyles,
you ought to publish those remarks. Why don't you write a book on
rearing children?"
When I retired that evening my mind was
fastened on his suggestion. I could not sleep until I had promised God
that I would obey the command given to me through His servant, Pastor
Batema, and put in print the ideas, philosophies, and methods that I
believe are necessary in the rearing of children to become
well-adjusted adults possessing character, integrity, and chastity.
This is not a textbook; it is a workbook.
It is not exhaustive. Nevertheless, it is offered to your, dear
reader, with a sincere prayer that it will help you to train up your
child in the way that he should go.

Jack Hyles began preaching at the age of
19 and has pastored for over 33 years. These pastorates include
churches that varied in membership from 19 to over 48,000. As of these
pastorates, other than the present one, were in the state of Texas:
First, the Marris Chapel Baptist Church of Bogata, Texas; then the
Grange Hall Baptist Church in Marshall, Texas; from there to the
Southside Baptist Church of Henderson, Texas; and then to the Miller
Road Baptist Church of Garland, Texas. He pastored the Miller Road
Baptist Church for over 7 years and saw this church, under the Lord,
grow from a membership of 19 to over 4,000. It was from the Miller
Road Baptist Church that he was called to his present pastorate at the
First Baptist Church of Hammond, Indiana.
Dr. Hyles has been Pastor of the First
Baptist Church since August, 1959. This church has a member ship of
over 48,000 and has averaged for the past 6 years over 23,000

Hyles' ministry the First Baptist Church has increased in property
evaluation to over $21,000,000.
Besides his position as Pastor, Dr. Hyles

Church and are housed in separate facilities away from the church
property. Dr. Hyles has served as President of the Baptist Bible
College in Denver, Colorado.
