Summary: Biblical Balance; Relationship, Discipleship & Discipline
Comment: FIRST I'd like to correct the reviewer that claims the author advocates spanking your child until they are "black and blue", they quote Chapter 11. I never remembered reading that when I studied the book in a 12+ week class... and sure enough when I went back and checked, it was no where to be found. Anyone who actually spent time in the book or watched the author's video series would know, that the idea of physically abusing children could never enter the heart of this author, any more than it could our heavenly father's heart.
In fact, this book lays a paradoxical foundation so contray to man's ways... so aganst the grain of modern day culture, that it is evidence of it's being rooting in timeless wisdom and a devine source. There are no simple answers to parenting, but rather as presented in this book, life giving parenting, must balance loving relationship, with loving biblical instruction, and loving discipline. All three elements are equally essential legs to the stool upon which biblical parenting is based.
This book also does an AWESOME job outlining how each of the 3 elements change as the child moves through predictable stages from a toddler toward maturity and independence.
As the title suggests, the ideal model of parenting is that of our heavenly father. He has taken the intiative to build an intimate and loving relationship. He equips us with wisdom through years of loving coucil in the midst of the rough and tumble of day to day living. He also chastens us firmly because He loves us.

Summary: Finally, a One-Stop Parenting Book--God's Way of Parenting
Comment: At last, a simpler book on child rearing that is consistently Bible based. This book accomplishes what other authors required a series of books to say, and after writing a series of books never said what Ted Tripp says. It goes right to the heart of the matter and for the most part lays the principles out, leaving the applications to you, the parent, except where the Bible doesn't make that allowance. My son was 12 years old before I found this book, and now I'm sorry I didn't see it before my son was born. I know from this book that I need to forget all the techniques well-intentioned Christian family counselors have given and go right to God's technique--Sheperding grace. I would highly recommend this book to every parent, and also put along side it "Transforming Grace" by Jerry Bridges to explain in more detail the life of grace with which a parent should love, and bestow upon, their children. The book doesn't really say what one should do if they are 12 years behind in doing parenting God's way, but I have found that by trying to start with parental shepherding 12 years late, the shepherding grace approach changes the direction of the whole family, in spite of blowing it for 12 years prior. Parents, read this book and start over in your approach to biblical parenting. It's simpler and certainly more effective. Sorry, Mr. Dobson. Mr. Tripp has done a better job in this area.

Summary: Shepherding a Child's Heart
Comment: This is a very bad book that wears the cloak of Biblical authority to hoist a regressive, abusive, punative, unwise and unloving methodology of child mircormanagement. I would give it 0 stars if it were possible.
The book contains no actual wisdom, but is a projection of a fundamentalist desire and need of control and is itself based on the theological notion of object-faith (the idea that faith is a belief that corresponds to objective things apart from one's self). And just as information can more or less relay the status of things, Tripp's contention of constant punative intervention to correct the inherently 'sinful' child so he can learn what is good is a betrayal of the Christian heart in its deepest sense. It betrays Christianity as deeply as the aplogists, objectivizing faith into simple correspondence and completely abandoning the pathless illumination of the heart. William Blake said long ago: "Jesus is the imagination". Just so, cultures from all ages have used their particular conceptual idols to justify their known and unknown emotional agendas. They have forgotten their active involovement via the imagination in their own interpretations. And more damning: to micromanage a child as Tripp would have you is to either emotionally labotomize him, or to guarantee deep seated anger, resentment and rebellion. The book is extreme, caustic, and displays a shockingly accluded approach to Biblical interpretation and child rearing that nearly rises to level of self-parody.
