Positive Discipline in the Christian Home: Using the Bible to Develop Character and Strengthen Moral Values

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!

It came as advertised, well packaged and on time. Great resource for parents who acknowledge their spirituality but don't want to follow the "spare the rod-spoil the child" mentality. I am a part of the "no-spank" network. This book gives great, thoughtful resources.

Love this author! This work with children is an great compliment to Brene' Brown's work. Intriguing to knowing how to lay a foundation of important emotional health for our children.

This is a wonderful help for parents who want to use respect and firmness and not punishment for their discipline methods. It teaches you how to get your children onboard with responsibility and choice. A great book for a resource center or individuals.

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.

[...]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 ParentingFamily Atmosphere: The FoundationThe Scriptural Backbone of Positive Discipline"But the Lord Looks at the Heart": Getting into Your Child's WorldWhat Does Birth Order Have to Do with This?The Four Goals of Misbehavior: Why Do Kids Do What They Do?Positive Discipline Tools: What's in Your Parenting Tool Kit?The Magic of Encouragement"A Gentle Answer Turns Away Wrath": Understanding Feelings and CummuncationsFamily MeetingsCelebrating the Family
