We have raised 5 children, and know that Honor is absolutely necessary to make a family function in a Godly fashion. I like this book so much that now I give it as a gift at Baby Showers.

Nothing in it is new to us. It is a matter of applying the principles within.

My boys are 6 and 9yrs old. I wish I had read this book a couple of years ago. I'm finding it very useful in teaching my boys how to treat each other, others around them and their mom. You can't teach them honor too soon.!

This book is wonderful, especially for parents who have school-age children. Turansky and Miller explain why expressing anger when children misbehave is detrimental to relationships and how to respond to misbehavior in a way which will bring about change from the heart. They discuss the difference between obedience and honor and explain how parents and children can honor each other and God. The bad attitudes in our family are melting away.

If you are frustrated with the attitudes in your home and the responses you get not only from your children but your spouse as well, I highly recommend this book. Scott Turansky and Joanne Miller have truly gotten to the heart of the matter. Honoring one another is a simple biblical principle so under used in our society today. Once you read this book your family and other relationships in your life will never be the same:)

I had read the authors' other book (Eight Secrets to Highly Effective Parenting) and found it very helpful. This book goes a step further in dealing even more with the heart--*mine* first, then my children's!
I'm only halfway through the book, and already it is helping me to deal more "honorably" with my children, and to give them better ways to deal with each other.
I found this to be the best "child training book" I've read to date that is grace-based and not just focusing on control! I *highly* recommend it!

Tell us a little about yourself. As a father of five children, I love family
life. Although our kids
are grown now, we're enjoying the fun of
grandparenting. We
founded the National Center for Biblical
Parenting to provide
family-strengthening resources for churches and
parents. You
may visit our web site at
www.biblicalparenting.org
What was your motivation behind this project? I'm very grateful for my parents who taught me
what honor was
in their relationship with each other and with
us as kids. When
my wife and I got married we wanted to have
honor in our home
and our five kids provided many opportunities to
test out the
ideas.
What do you hope folks will gain from this project? The concept of honor has helped me see the
difference between
families that are mediocre and those that are
successful. We
wrote this book after doing a four-year study on
honor in the
Bible and in life and were excited to write it
all down. We've
applied honor to sibling conflict, teenagers,
parental discipline,
and just teaching kids how to be successful in
life. We believe
that God has hidden success principles within
honor. That's why
he commanded that honor be learned in family
life.
Who are your influences, sources of inspiration or favorite authors / artists? I'm very grateful for my parents who taught me
what honor was
in their relationship with each other and with
us as kids. When
my wife and I got married we wanted to have
honor in our home
and our five kids provided many opportunities to
test out the
ideas.
Anything else you'd like readers / listeners to know: We have four goals when approaching parenting
problems. Be
bibilcal, practical, focus on the heart, and
look for adult
solutions to children's problems. These goals
help us stay on
track in providing parents with the most
effective parenting
solutions. We're always on the lookout for more
parenting
secrets. We'd love to hear from you.
