"Training Children, Polishing Jewels" stems from the conviction that raising children is a process; children don't come ready-made. Therefore, they need training. With this perspective, the author emphasizes that the effective and decisive instrument for successful progress in this parental task is the Word of God.

 "This manual for parents points to the Manual, the Word of God, as a sufficient source for polishing the jewels called children. Here you will find the infallible guidelines of the Master Jeweler, who transforms coal into diamonds, irritating sand into precious pearls."

 It's recognized that there's a lot of confusion and uncertainty today regarding the process of raising children. Victor's book manages to clear the way with biblical, practical, current, and realistic guidelines. For David Merkh, this book is "one of the best manuals on training the next generation."
