5.0 out of 5 stars A Teacher's Perspective, March 20, 2008
This review is from: Wise Words for Moms (Pamphlet)
Before I purchased the pamphlet, "Wise Words for Moms", I read the reviews. There is almost no middle ground. People either loved it or hated it. As Jesus said, "No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other..." (Matthew 6:24). When I read the negative reviews, many of them stated that this pamphlet advocated child abuse and beating your children.

As a mother of five happy, wonderful children (ages 2-18) and a public school teacher for 16 years, this really concerned me. I decided to purchase the pamphlet and see for myself what Ginger Plowman advocates in this writing. I was shocked to learn that NOWHERE in this booklet does she speak about beating, abusing (physically or verbally) or demeaning your children. She uses scripture to teach your child what God thinks about sin. The first page states that "Wise Words are to be spoken with a loving heart and a gentle voice."

Discipline is absolutely necessary in order to raise children to be content and happy adults. The word discipline means to "teach". It appears that some people are so worried about admitting that children may have sin in their hearts that they will make up outrageous allegations in order to prevent people from ordering this booklet.

In today's society, many people choose to avoid discipline at all costs. Children should absolutely be cherished and respected, but without training, they will never learn to become respectful, productive adults. Children need to know when they have done something wrong, what they should have done instead and that there are consequences for their actions. Love without discipline creates a society with no conscience because "everything is acceptable". Without proper training, children grow up to become adults that don't know the difference between right and wrong and don't respect others. Instead, they become self-serving adults with entitlement issues (believing that the world owes them and that they are to take as much as they can instead of giving). This breeds discontentment and unhappiness.

"Wise Words for Moms" is an excellent tool to help parents who want to "train up their children in the way they should go"... (Proverbs 22:6). It is loving and Biblical. It addresses the behavior of the children and teaches them to search their own heart and understand the motives behind their actions. The understanding of their motives leads to a conscious change of heart. Wise Words for Moms uses scripture to teach what God thinks of the children's negative behavior as well as encourages them to use positive behavior that honors God and leads to successful living.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great chart of questions and scriptures for training, March 30, 2008
This review is from: Wise Words for Moms (Pamphlet)
I actually own this...it isn't a book but a chart of what scriptures to read or quote to your child when they do something disobedient or are going through something difficult like fear. There is nothing about spanking in it. Basically it has Heart probing questions, reproof or what to put off, encouragement or what to put on and additional verses.


For example under quarreling, arguing it has questions one example...
Are you being strong and avoiding strife or are you being weak and participating in strife? Then under reproof it says Quarreling. A harsh word stirs up anger. You need to depart from evil and do good because God says it is foolish to quarrel. Proverbs 15:1b, Psalm 34:14, and Proverbs 20:3b then under Encouragement it says Peace making. A gentle answer turns away wrath. It is to your honor to avoid strife and to live at peace with everyone. Proverbs 20:3a, Romans 12:18 Proverbs 15:1a then it lists additional versus to look up

I have really enjoyed using this chart in training my children to do what is right and also for myself. When I deal with things such as fear, worry , selfishness, coveting, or complaining I am reminded through scripture what to put off and put on straight from God's word. It has been helpful with scripture memory too and applying the scriptures right there in everyday life.

Wonderful tool in promoting the reason why we do and don't do things....to Glorify God.

This review is from: Wise Words for Moms (Pamphlet)
A wonderful resource! I have also seen Ginger Plowman speak at a conference and she is great. I am sad to see that she has any negative reviews. Please keep in mind that people who put down other Christians because of their parenting styles are ignorant about the difference between CULTURAL SPANKING and BIBLICAL CHASTISEMENT. It is something that needs to be studied more thouroughly (like Ginger Plowman has) before being spoken/written on.
