5.0 out of 5 stars Superb Biblical model 2 Jan 2011
Format:Paperback
OK, first off. If you don't want to bring your child up according to Biblical principles, you won't like this book. If you think smacking is always bad, you won't like this book. If you think children are naturally good and delightful and just need a little bit of shaping in their behaviour from time to time, you won't like this book.

But if you want to take seriously what the Bible says about raising kids, this is probably the best, most helpful and most practical book you'll come across. The big difference between this one and everything else I've read, is that Tripp deals with the heart issues, rather than just external behaviour. Most parenting books focus on discipline/reward as a way of modifying behaviour. (E.g. if you tidy your room, you can have a treat. If you refuse, you won't.) To an extent, this works; at least in the same way that you can train a dog to fetch a stick. The problem is that it doesn't deal with the question of why the child is refusing to tidy their room in the first place.

This is what sets Tripp's book above everything else I've seen. He deals with the heart-issues. Why do children misbehave? Why are they selfish and unthoughtful and uncaring? His conclusion is the same as mine: they are by nature sinners like the rest of us, and need the gospel of Jesus just like the rest of us do. They need to understand sin, forgiveness and redemption just like us grown-ups.

Tripp sees parenting as a series of opportunities to teach your children their need of the gospel, and to show them how it works in practice. Highly recommended!

Format:Paperback
I am a pediatrician with 21 years experience, and this is the book that I give young parents to provide them with the truth about raising children. It provides them with the proper world-view of parenting. It gives them a strategy that works, not pop psychology. Raising children is about influencing an eternal soul, created by God, it is not just changing behavior. Raising children is the most important job that a parent does, and 99% of parenting books totally miss the point, even many "Christian" parenting books, miss the point! I wish I would have had this book 25 years ago! Thank you Tedd Tripp for your ministry!

I agree with what the other reviewers have said - this is the most helpful, Biblically based book I've read on child rearing - and I've read quite a lot! I'm no expert on children, just someone who found herself with a baby so thought she'd better try to find out the best way to bring him up!
It also translates well culturally for us Brits, which some American books don't. I'm buying several copies to give to friends with young children.
