    <body><![CDATA[Not quite done w/ the book, but so far I've found it to be extremely rich in its connection of the parent/child relationship and the God/human relationship.  I heard Tripp speak at a conference, and both his talks and his book have convicted me of the weaknesses of my own walk with Jesus and the way...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/64634501">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[If you have looked for a &quot;helpful&quot; parenting book, this is a wonderful explanatory and easy to incorporate book into any home.  It is really wonderful also how the author doesn't exclude parents that have been parenting for a while and seek encouragement.  It is a book that can be implemen...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/46697323">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I think the author makes some outstanding points in this book. I think he does an excellent job of discussing spanking and how it is appropriate and fits into parenting. Unfortunately, the practical application of his other recommendations is lacking.

    <body><![CDATA[Tedd Tripp does an excellent job of helping Christian parents view the discipline and instruction of their children through a biblical prism of 'shepherding the heart'.<br/><br/>When this truly happens, you begin to see your role as more than just to modify your child's behavior but as the chosen ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/61047202">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[The first time I read it, my daughter was only a few months old and I didn't enjoy the book too much.  Too scientific with too little anecdotes for me.  The 2nd time I read it, she was just over 1 year old, and I gleaned a little more from it...however THIRD time's a charm!!

    <body><![CDATA[This was a wonderful, instructive, convicting book that was also filled with hope.  As the title indicates, Tripp teaches that the heart of your child should be the focus of a parent, not simply the child's behavior.  This is a tough lesson, but so important!<br/><br/>I appreciated lots of things ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/21914245">more...</a>]]></body>
