Many parenting books either support one extreme- permissiveness, or the other-repression. This guide presents a more effective, flexible and biblical approach- raising your kids with grace and truth. Cloud and Townsend, Christian psychologists with over 20 years of experience help you turn today's children into tomorrow's responsible, productive, and loving adults.
In approaching parenting from both a developmental and spiritual direction, the authors show how biblical character includes competent functioning in areas such as relationship skills, tasks, ownership, responsibility and follow through, self-control, perseverance, delay of gratification, ability to lose and grieve, and the ability to forgive.

This is one of the most balanced book on parenting I have ever read. I also learned about some priciples that were lacking in my own up bringing that have help me be a better person. I have given and recommened this book to all my friends and anyone who ask for parenting advice. I praise God for the insights He has given these two men and their willingness to go to the effort to put them in black and white for others to learn, grow and raise "Great Kids".
