Best single book on parenting

Reading this book when it was first published 15 years ago, I thought it was sooo good that I developed an entire class based on its outline. I've taught that class at my home church now, since 1993, to hundreds of people. And I've read a lot more books on Christian parenting since then too. This book remains the single best parenting guide I have read. There are LOTS of terrific authors out there, including Dobson, Rainey, Smalley, etc. But this book compartmentalizes an easy-to-remember approach to parenting in the "6 A's of Positive (Biblical) Parenting" which anyone can remember. With 4 kids myself, I cannot remember any situation we've faced in which I was unable to effectively address things using one or more of the 6 A's explained in this book. That's what makes it so valuable - you can actually remember the concepts and techniques and how to apply them. The book is full of personal examples from the authors' live which will make you laugh and bring a tear or two. It's a great, personal, volume chock full of practical advice and FUN. You'll love reading it and the pages will fly past. Now that it's out of print, get yourself a used copy from a reputable seller!

Filled to the last page with loving advice!

Truly the best (and most relevant) book I have ever read on Christian Parenting. The book is filled to the brim with PRACTICAL, RELEVANT advice on how to be a successful parent, and, yes, a Hero to your kids.Basing their thesis on five main Parenting concepts, and amply supported with Scriptural references and real-life experiences, the authors present a clear, workable strategy to really improve your parenting, in such a way that you can teach your children the lessons of life, whilst still retaining their respect and absolute love for you.A must read for anyone who would like to gain new insights in Christian Parenting.

AWESOME book, One everyone should read

This book should be required reading for all those in counseling. Everything we are stems from our parents. Even those of us who have very little contact with our parents can learn a great deal, even if we don't have children.This book teaches why we are the way we are and how we can overcome the wrongs that have been done us by just understanding where our feelings are coming from. As a grown adult raising children I have learned more about myself in the span of reading this one book, then I have in my whole lifetime.I feel this book will help anyone with their walk with Christ.
