Hugh and I are reading through an excellent book on parenting called Shepherding a Child's Heart by Tedd Tripp. He also has another one that Hugh is enjoying called Instructing a Child's Heart. (I'm a little behind him on the reading.)
Since I haven't finished the book, I can't actually give a complete review of it yet, but I can confidently say, however, that Tripp does an amazing job encouraging parents to address their children's heart issues as well as their complete obedience to God. He stands behind numerous Scriptures in his teaching, and he is both theoretical and practical. I would highly recommend his books to anyone who is pondering how to parent. Additionally, I would say that many of his thoughts have shaped how Hugh and I plan to raise our children, and we are so thankful to have good resources like this one at our fingertips.
Speaking of resources, here's some FREE audio resources that are closely tied to his shepherding book... Back in 2008 he did a parenting seminar, and you can listen to the audio from it thanks to the Resurgence (he's actually done quite a few of these seminars over the years, but so far this is the only audio I've been able to find). You can check it out here or by searching "Tedd Tripp" on the Resurgence website. Hugh and I both enjoyed these audios! Tripp is a phenomenal speaker in that he is easy to listen to, but he is also INCREDIBLY challenging. I hope you check out the audio and benefit from it as much as we have!
