From the Inside Flap

A Biblical Approach to Raising a Respectful, Responsible, and Capable Child
"Train a child in the way he should go and when he is old he will not turn from it." Proverbs 22:6. As Christian parents, you know you need to train your child, yet you probably wonder just how you can accomplish the fulfillment of this Scripture. What kind of parenting ensures that your child will become a responsible, capable adult who can choose to love and follow God for life? Positive Discipline in the Christian Home clarifies how the Bible and the time-proven skills of Positive Discipline can work together.

Using stories and passages from the Bible as well as real-life stories from families using these principles, this nondenominational book will show you how to:
·Teach your children life skills and values
·Set appropriate boundaries with your children
·Understand and respond to misbehavior with loving guidance
·Follow through with kindness and firmness
·And much more!
"Parents are God's personal representatives on earth to give each child a special blessing and stamp of approval. This book empowers you to do just that!"
Tim Timmons, author of Roadmap to RICHE$, Los Angeles talk-show host, and pastor of New Community Church

"A practical guide for every loving parent. What a great job the authors have done to make the seemingly complex job of being a parent a lot simpler."
