Heartfelt Discipline: The Gentle Art of Training and Guiding Your Child

Christian parents are sure of one thing€“they must discipline their children. Ask them to define discipline, however, and you will find little agreement. Many parenting experts support a strict, €œhands-on€ approach€“usually in the form of spankings. Other believers think a permissive, €œhands-off€ is the best way to demonstrate love. Caught between these extremes, well-meaning parents feel torn and even more confused about what the Bible really says on the subject.

Is there a better way to lovingly train and guide our kids? Yes, says author Clay Clarkson, and in Heartfelt Discipline he offers a long-awaited, biblical discipline solution that is caring and effective€“one that leaves parents feeling confident and guiltless, not saddened or conflicted.

At last, here is a faith-directed approach to discipline that spares the rod but doesn€t spoil the children. Through biblical advice, answers to commonly asked questions, and positive encouragement, Clay Clarkson presents a new, biblical model of discipline€“one that allows parents to embrace a completely new way of thinking about childhood discipline, renew their relationships with their children, and transform the dynamics of their family life.
