This is a very helpful parenting book that looks at training up our kids to a life of obedience, and how to Biblically discipline them when needed.

A very clear and well written book comprised of three sections:
- Reaching the heart of your child
- Giving a biblical reproof
- The biblical use of the rod

This book encourages Christian parents to get to the "heart of the matter" with their children and not just stop annoying or unacceptable behavior temporarily but to stop it where it starts, in their children's heart. It encourages Christian parents to more openly refer to God and their belief in the bible when disciplining their children or speaking to them about their unacceptable behaviors. For those of us that are sadly not as knowledgeable on memorized bible verses or quick to pull one out of our brain in the middle of discipline, Ginger has a great reference guide called "Wise Words for Mom's" ( )
