Synopsis

NO PARENT ENJOYS DISCIPLINING . . . but we know it's important, so we grit our teeth and make it happen!

. . . Right? Or can it be more than something we just "put up with"?

Sara Wallace, a mother of five, brings you a personal, frank account of her own journey with discipline—and introduces an entirely new way to look at it. Not as something we do to our children, but as something we do for them . . . not as a necessary evil, but as a beautiful privilege!

We can be glad when our children disobey while still in our care—they are showing us where they need to be strengthened and encouraged, giving us a chance to shape their hearts.

Would you like to feel equipped, and excited, to discipline? Here are practical tools, specific skills, a solid gospel foundation, and specific day-by-day things you can say and do to make disciplining your children intentional and consistent.

This is absolutely my new favorite parenting book. I’ll be adding it to baby shower gifts from now on. I’ve never read such a deeply loving book about discipline.

Goodreads review by Erica on September 22, 2021

Really enjoyed this relatable, practical, biblical look at discipline. One of the better books I've read,it had a lot of Bible to back up what she was saying. I really liked the second part of the book where she has practical ways to put into practice what she was saying and make it work for your fa......more

Goodreads review by Tyler on July 05, 2018

While primarily geared to moms, this book was so beneficial to me as a parent. She gives such a solid, biblical foundation for discipline, then practical support and helps on applying those undergirding truths. She frequently roots discipline in the gospel both for its motivation and its fruit.......more
