It is called "Our 24 Family Ways" by Clay Clarkson. It divides the 24 easy to memorize statements into six categories: authorities, relationships, possessions, work, attitudes and choices. A couple of examples: "We love our Lord Jesus Christ with wholehearted devotion." "We exercise self-control at all times and in every situation." They are good reminders for parents as well as for kids. The book comes with devotion ideas attached to each of the 24 ways. We used it extensively when our kids were smaller as a way to instill and reinforce expected behavior and heart attitudes in our home. This resource can be found at www.wholeheart.org.

Many of statics really create a desire in us to raise children that are putting their faith at the forefront of their mind. Thanks for the recommendation and sharing your thoughts on the book.
