1) Paperback Book Don't Make Me Count to Three: a Mom's Look at Heart-Oriented Discipline by Shepherd Press. Plowman does an excellent job of explaining how to use scripture to teach and guide your children. She gives everyday examples that make it very clear and practical. I have found that speaking scripture to my children is a very liberating way of disciplining them. God has already given me wonderful truths to speak to them and plant in their hearts. Since I don´t have to come up with my own words "in the heat of the moment," I find myself more calm and patient as I teach them.

At the same time, this book has actually reinforced my belief that I should not spank my kids. Plowman discusses "biblical" spanking (as chastisement, when God´s will has been violated) and when it is inappropriate (your will has been violated and you´re angry). Honestly, I am unable to spank without feeling angry -- that action just does not match a calm and restrained demeanor. And I don´t think it´s a lack of faith on my part. I am not a biblical literalist and I believe there are other ways to apply "the rod" of discipline than actually hitting my children.

I agree with Plowman that my job is to point my children to Christ by helping them see their sin and discovering God´s mercy. I agree that I fail my kids if I tell them what not to do without giving them the truth about what God wants them to do. My children have responded to this and are more loving and obedient -- without spanking.¤

2) Paperback Book Don't Make Me Count to Three: a Mom's Look at Heart-Oriented Discipline by Shepherd Press. This book was a life saver for me. I have three young children and I times feel lost on not just how to discipline them, but how to train their little hearts in the way of the Lord. This book has many wonderful scripture references to give all of us moms confidence. That this wonderful call of motherhood is a great job indeed & we can do it, the way God has entrusted us to.¤

3) Paperback Book Don't Make Me Count to Three: a Mom's Look at Heart-Oriented Discipline by Shepherd Press. This book has helped me a lot to deal with my child. Contrary to what some will say, the author does not recommend spanking for everything. There are times when it is necessary. A great book for everybody, Christians and non-Christians!¤

4) Paperback Book Don't Make Me Count to Three: a Mom's Look at Heart-Oriented Discipline by Shepherd Press. This book has been an answered prayer. The concepts are clear but a lot of work. My kids are worth the investment and I am encouraged by the results so far.¤

5) Paperback Book Don't Make Me Count to Three: a Mom's Look at Heart-Oriented Discipline by Shepherd Press. This book is the best parenting book I´ve read...it combines the reality of imperfect mothers with the awesome responsibility and priviledge we have to raise our children so that they love and honor God.

Yes, it´s directed at Christians, and it hits right where it should: sound biblical direction and applications for everyday problems.

More than anything, it encouraged me to study the wisdom of the bible for myself, so that I can model and pass that on to my son and future children.

This will be my parenting philosophy from now on, and this book will be my handbook, second only to the bible!
