This book was so inspiring. Many times, I would read parenting books. But they typically would normally remind me of self-help books that I would read, kind of like the ones I read before becoming a Christian. Behavior modification, but not getting to the root of it. I would end up with all these facts and information, but with little power to do much about it and then feel frustrated at my inability to follow the book very well. OR they would be very inspiring but kind of whispy and with lots of broad ideas but short on specifics-- more in a poetic way without much realistic examples for clueless people like I was.
This book is an amazing blend of beautifully written, easy to read story-book examples of her own life and experiences with her child, principles/root issues behind behavior stuff having to do with the heart and make me cry a few times. I didn't feel ashamed but I actually felt empowered.
Most importantly, she emphasizes the gospel and not focusing so much on fixing your child than on being an example and discipling/training/talking with them and helping them to become all that God designed them to be as a unique individual and develop their own internal compas led by the holy spirit, so that they are led by the spirit. For if you are led by the spirit, you won't fulfill the desires of the flesh. She writes on how your own relationship with Jesus makes these other things flow so much better. It makes so much sense. So many times you can have all the ideas right, but if you're not operating from a place of Rest with God, they become 100 times harder because the root of the heart is the most important. This lady explains the root and also practical ways of dealing with it and loving your children through it all.

About the author
Author takes Extreme Liberty adding to God's Word
This book has some good motherly wisdom to share. Basically, give your children the same grace that God gave to you, but still correct and instruct them. My main issues with it are 1.) the EXTREME LIBERTY the author takes with telling her version of biblical stories to make her points. We are clearly and repeatedly warned against this in scripture and reminded that the word of God is sufficient and powerful (Rev. 22:18-19; Proverbs 30:5-6; Deut. 4:2; Heb 4:12; 2 Tim 3:16-17; John 17:17; James 1:21; Deut 12:32; Romans 1:16; 1 Peter 1:23 etc.) 2.) Some of the stories that she tells about her children seem a little exaggerated. See the example photo of a supposed quote from her 7 year old, which makes me skeptical. The tips in this book could have been put into a pamphlet instead of spread throughout an entire book.
