Shepherding a Child's Heart by Tedd Tripp (1995, Paperback, Reprint)

I bought this book to give as a gift after reading it for my own family. Clear and biblical, sound doctrine gets to the root of discipline problems in both parents and children. Mr. Tripp shows how to use every discipline problem as a window to see into your child's soul and to bring you both closer to each other, and more importantly, to God. Since establishing clear and consistent limits and goals our parenting has been more effective, more understanding, and much easier.

Kneeling before a Holy God together with our children has given us all a level of self control, peace, and confidence that we never understood before. Mr. Tripp discusses the need for pointing out our child's need for God, and the use of God's Word as the standard for all of our goals, methods, discipline, and desires.

This is the one of the best books on Christian parenting ever!
