I have no idea why and when I acquired this book as I am not a parent and don't really deal with children. However, I found it in my cupboard of unread books and it met the criteria for 3 of this month's challenges, so decided to read it. (Also, I cannot throw away an unread book)

The first half of the book deals with biblical principles of parenting while the second half gives practical tips on dealing with children of different ages. ( )

Dorinda bought this book in the spring of 2022 after finishing "Parenting" written by Tedd Tripp's son.

Based on the varying levels of stars given to this book I can see that it's a controversial book which is never going to be for a populist market. I for one thought the premise was brilliant, and the emphasis on dealing with issues of the heart were truly biblical. I particularly liked the way Tripp pointed out that good behaviour without a changed heart was simply hypocrisy and examined the different approaches to discipline by exploring their purpose. I also appreciated the way that he dealt with the changing approach to parenting as your children get older. ( )

This book shouldn't be part of any collection. Tedd Tripp demands abusing your children in the name of God. Although his idea of God has no connection to the God of the bible. He roll plays situations where the parent must explain to his child that he must be spanked or it would be a sin. This a usie book is one of the few books I've ever thrown away. ( )
