The Bible Lessons of John Quincy Adams for His Son (Training Boys to Be Men of God)
This book is comprised of a series of letters written by the author to his ten year old son as an encouragement to study the Bible. John Quincey Adams is perhaps the greatest statesman in the history of America. At the age of eight he did musket drills with the Minutemen of the revolutionary war. At the age of fourteen he was Secretary to the Embassy in Russia. He served as a Diplomat to several European countries. He was Secretary of State and he was the son of our second President John Adams. He served as our sixth President from 1825 to 1829. He served as a Senator and as Congressman in the House of Representatives. He was a devout Christian and read the bible in Greek, Hebrew, and several other languages. He was a strong abolitionist and authored the Monroe Doctrine and many volumes of historical importance and many spiritual poems. He believed it is the duty of parents, not state sponsored surrogate teachers, to train their children in a system of academic excellence, spiritual wisdom, character training, covenant keeping, and multi-generational faithfulness. In these letters, he instructed his son to read the Bible from four general views. He said, "Consider the Scriptures as Divine Revelation, as Historical Records, as a System of Morals, and as a Literary Composition."
