Publisher's Description

In today's society, where parental authority is being compromised more than ever, this Proverbs 23:13 command "withhold not correction from the child" may seem nearly impossible to obey. The line between discipline and abuse has been blurred and now appears ready to vanish. As both father and pastor, Bruce A. Ray understands the difficulties facing modern parents, and he points to firm, biblical discipline as the solution. In this practical guide, Ray offers direction to all parents who struggle with doubt or indecision in their roles as God-ordained disciplinarians. With timely and inspiring wisdom, he exposes the emptiness of contemporary advice on child-rearing and clearly outlines from Scripture the duties of every Christian parent. Including review and response questions, this thirteen-chapter book is an ideal tool for group or personal study.
