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!

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

I had seen Positive Discipline in the library and read it. I checked further into their product line and found this book. It has Bible verses throughout to appeal to the Christian parent, but I wondered how much of it was popular thought fitted to Christianity. Still undecided. Of many of the Christian parenting books I've read, this one's tips and suggestions didn't stay with me. I'll give it a second read, but it's not my go-to book when I need help.

I was familiar with the book so I knew the content but I was very impresed with the condition of the book when it arrived. I will now be comfortable ordering from amazon.

I received the book quickly and it was in the condition the seller described it as. Thank you.
