Raising Kids God's Way: A Biblical Guide for Christian Parents

Rating:
Summary: Distressing
Review: I found the whole thrust of the book most distressing. It seemed to teach parents to be harsh, authoritarian control freaks and not help them to attune themselves to their childrens needs and help satisfy them. Beware! Some damage done in early childhood often doesn't manifest itself till adulthood. Be sure to check out the qualifications of the author and the way scripture is used. It seems to me there is a hidden agenda and they are just trying to find scriptures to hang it on.

Summary: Great book for new parents!
Review: I found this to be a great help. In a society where many parents know very little about raising responsible, accountable children, this book gives very practical advice. There is no suggestion of a heavy handed approach. The results of the "let them raise themselves" approach surrounds us and confuse the very people who object to teaching children with secure boundaries when they are young. Highly recommended for first time parents.

Summary: What a claim!
Review: What I would like to say is that the Bible is silent about most of the material discussed in this book. The Bible teaches that we need godly wisdom in applying its principles, not someone to write a legalistic "how to" manual. Don't take it as "gospel"!
