Description

John Milton’s Paradise Lost: Book I & IX is a focused, syllabus-friendly edition of two of the most frequently studied books from Milton’s epic masterpiece. With commentary and notes by R. W. Desai, this volume supports close reading by clarifying Milton’s language, theology, symbolism, and epic technique—especially where classroom discussion and examinations tend to concentrate.

The book presents Book I (selected opening lines with commentary and notes) and Book IX (with commentary and notes), enabling readers to trace Milton’s epic argument from the aftermath of rebellion to the decisive narrative of temptation and the Fall. Supporting sections such as The Garden of Eden and Milton’s Cosmology provide interpretive grounding, while an afterword explores India in Paradise Lost and Paradise Lost in India, making the edition especially relevant for Indian university contexts.

A key strength of this volume is its inclusion of selected critical essays by notable scholars and critics, including Balachandra Rajan, A. G. George, Brijraj Singh, Christopher Hill, Jyoti Bajaj, Louis L. Martz, E. M. W. Tillyard, and R. W. Desai—helping students build strong, exam-ready literary analysis.

A great guide to learn how to learn how our Father wants us to be raising our kids.
Format: Audiobook
Wonderful read it really helped put in perspective how we can have grace with our kids and ourselves. Not everyone was raised this way and it is so nice to find and learn how we can unlearn some of those "bad" habits and refrigerator our minds so that we have a stronger relationship and more respectful relationship with our kids and the Father.

Pleasantly surprised by the humor and practical exercises
Format: Kindle
Ok, so generally, I hate parenting books. I've read at least 5 well known Christian parenting books, and I'm usually either bored to tears with impractical theories that don't really work with my three strong-willed boys, or angry at the over-simplified anecdotes that also don't work with my kids. It feels like most parenting books are written by men who have fully-grown children and I struggle to relate. I've gleaned a few techniques here and there that have been helpful, but left mostly dissatisfied. I have to say that I have been pleasantly surprised by this one! I appreciate that it's written by a fellow mom who is not too far down the parenting road that she's forgotten how hard it is. And she is funny! The embarrassing story she shares about her daughter's first birthday party literally had me laughing so hard I had tears rolling down my face. That alone was worth the book for me. I'm only about halfway through right now, but it's been such a refreshing book. I love the practical ideas for sorting family rules/values, and evaluating infractions, misdemeanors and felonies. The suggested activities are practical and not overwhelming. I find myself wanting to discuss it with my husband to try some different ideas already. That is a win! And ultimately the gospel-centered approach of what it looks like to parent our children the way God parents us - with a balanced grace - is what I want to be doing.

The perfect parenting book for the perfect time!
Format: Kindle
I really enjoyed the book a lot! I laughed and I cried, then I laughed some more. The way you wrote the book is how I would write something like this. I really appreciated how you described your real life circumstances, most I can relate to… i.e. don’t open another cereal box till the current one is empty, how you threw together Riley’s birthday party but said all-well and let God lead, and how you are a visual learner and your husband lives on an Excel sheet. LOL, so funny! I really loved how you put humor into what can be an exhausting task of parenting, we need the laugh. On a serious note, it was great that you started w/ the idea of your own heart check before you disciple your children and that the idea is to always discipline in our kids’ best interests. I also loved learning to “protect our kids LESS so we can PREPARE them more.” Our son is in 6th grade this year and boy is that an eye opener and true statement for him. Having good boundaries (rules), decipher each violation, what are his motives, and the consequences (and specific listed ones) were amazing and a huge confirmation for me as we’ve started into the pre-teen years. Thank you so much for a God-led book on parenting when it’s the hardest but most rewarding thing a person can ever do.

good discussion of discipline, but not anti-spanking as I was lead to believe
Format: Paperback
What I liked: -Murray encourages parents not to react identically to all "infractions." Children misbehave in different ways and certain behaviors are not as bad as others. It's straight up bad parenting to react the same way in every occasion (e.g. breaking a lamp while rough housing is not the same as cheating on a test at school and should not be addressed identically. "disobedience" is not a catch-all "sin"). -Murray encourages parents to consider developmental abilities (toddlers are toddlers and it is not immoral for them to act like toddlers) and different personalities (perfectionists might seem more well-behaved than their artsy free spirited siblings, but it's just because perfectionists feel more at home in rigidity, while such rigidity suffocates a free spirit). What I didn't like: -Murray acts like she doesn't care whether you spank (she makes one small reference in the body of the book and waits to address spanking until an appendix at the end). However, it is clear that she is pro-spanking when she accuses non-spankers of falling into license or a lack of desire to discipline (the only thing spankers have to worry about is abuse, which is such a vague standard). Honestly this appendix really upset me because the rest of the book seemed so positive and powerful and it was disappointing to read after ALL THAT, basically the best discipline for young children is a spank. But I didn't want to drop the book's rating all the way down to a 2 or 3 because the body of the book really is helpful and much more positive than most conservative, Christian parenting books that automatically center every discipline discussion around "the rod."

I wish I had read this sooner.
Format: Kindle
This book helped not only my discipline strategies but my faith. I didn’t even realize that I was not raised in a grace-based discipline approach. I’m so thankful that this book helped to convict me on a few things so I can show my daughter God’s love for her more clearly. I loved her humor. Made it actually really enjoyable to read! Her details are what really helped me. I am the kind of person who learns best from specific examples; this book has some good ones. I loved that there weren’t any muddy concepts and it didn’t get too theoretical type so I could actually understand.
