For the past 20 years I have studied and put together this book, The Age of Accountability. It shows Scripturally that God uses the age of 20 as a guideline for His people. Examples are only those 20 years and older were responsible for their rebellion before God going into the Promised Land, only those 20 years and older were counted to go into battle, only those 20 years of age and older were required to pay the temple tax for the atonement of sins. This Biblical understanding helps parents to enjoy the years God has given them with their children to take the time to build a strong foundation for their children to base their faith upon.
