[...] A Biblical approach to raising a respectful, responsible, and capable child. This is more than a few Scriptures sprinkled through a new-age parenting book. Positive Discipline was modeled by Christ and is not a new "invention". While there may be more understanding today of the long-term benefits of this style of parenting it does not mean that someone made it up yesterday. The book does an excellent job of helping parents communicate with children and create a strong family bond. This is a valuable tool for those who are tired of being inundated with "spare the rod" mentality. Chapters include: What is Discipline? The Challenge of Christian Parenting Family Atmosphere: The Foundation The Scriptural Backbone of Positive Discipline "But the Lord Looks at the Heart": Getting into Your Child's World What Does Birth Order Have to Do with This?

I have EVERY parenting book under the sun, and didn't plan on buying this one until I stumbled over it in a quaint Park City, Utah bookshop. This is the only great BIBLICALLY based book I have ever seen to guide Christian ( and all) parents in raising children WELL with out spanking ( there is scripture to back it up gals). I wish every pastor, and every family could own this book and read it- it works, and it is based on solid biblical teaching without the issues of corporal punishment. Don't hesitate- you'll buy extra copies to give to your friends!
