A good Christian parenting book?

Question

Any recommendations? I have an 18 month old son 😅

Answer

“The Power of a Praying Parent”  by Stormie Omartian is never a bad idea 😊 All the best and the Lord will give you direction.

Answer

The bible.

Answer

He will feed His flock like a shepherd; He will gather the lambs with His arm, And carry them in His bosom, And gently lead those who are with young.
Isaiah 40:11
Seek God in prayer, understand at least some basic child development. Think about people in your life who you think parent well. Do you see good fruit in their children? If so, speak to them while being aware that some of their advice will work well, other advice may not due to factors such as different home or family circumstances, different temperaments,  special needs etc. If you are married you and your husband should if possible be discussing things like family rules and expectations, any consequences. As it will be better if you are in agreement. If you're not pray together, inform yourselves and unless you're husband is advocating abusive (and there for sinful) parenting practices and you can not agree for family harmony follow his lead. It is good you are embarking in intentional parenting early on and seeking out information. To be honest some Christian parenting books I've read, I hesitate to name them, I wouldn't recommend, and regretted reading, and found the advice didn't bear good fruit, either as they lacked awareness of child development  or over advocated spanking. There is one in my house I can look out it's name later that was quite useful. I recommend that when you read anything  seek out if what the person is saying really lines up to scripture, look beyond proof texts provided. As one book I read was full of scripture refrences but the tone of the book and message wasn't too understanding or loving. That book in the hands of an abusive or troubled person could have been dangerous.

Answer

“Full Time Parenting” by Israel Wayne.

Answer

Don’t make me count to 3! 😊

Answer

A couple great books are
Shepherding a Child’s Heart by Ted Tripp
Don’t Make Me Count to Three by Ginger Hubbard
I read both when my son was little and they were very helpful. The first really focuses on why it’s important to parent in a God glorifying way and the second has lots of practical help.

Answer

It’s not really a “parenting book” per-say but I love reading devotional from “A Little God Time for Mothers”
