I was expectantly waiting to be able to read this book, when it arrived my spirit felt like it plummeted as I looked within its pages. I whole heartidly agree with spanking as a form of correction, but a whole book to espouse the proper way to inflict that punishment is disheartening. I need applicable ways to train my child regularly and then an applicable grace based method to use consistantly when spanking is necessary.
please see these two resources if this would also be disheartening to you!

With this guide, you can not go wrong. I was searching for what God was saying which is hard to find specifics in the Bible. This book pulls them out, explains them, illustrates them and holds us accountable as parents. As it should be.
Very good book, An older book but still VERY relavent
