Biblical Parenting

"Biblical Parenting, A Christian Psychiatrist's View" is a guide to the Bible's wealth of instructions showing how parents can effectively rear children. God's Biblical instructions are consistent with much of modern child psychiatric thought. Although this book reflects Christian views, it should also be useful for non-Christian parents. Many child rearing instructions are found in the Old Testament, common to both the Jewish and Christian religions. The directions for child rearing given in the Bible, used by parents for thousands of years are sound, regardless of one's religious beliefs. The biblical account of the life of Jesus Christ, contained in the New Testament, is the most famous biography ever written. Throughout the Bible, God tells parents to make their own lives comply with His Word, as they teach their children. However, God's instructions for parents are not grouped together conveniently in a particular book or chapter. This book is a guide to help parents locate and confirm the child rearing instructions found in the Bible.
