Great parenting resources

If you were at Providence this past week, I talked about 3 ways to keep your children off the Jerry Springer show. Here are the resources that I recommend every parent read:

The Book of Proverbs
The Heart of Anger by Lou Priolo, John Mac Arthur, and Jay E. Adams
Shepherding a Child's Heart by Tedd Tripp
It Takes a Parent: How the Culture of Pushover Parenting Is Hurting Our Kids--and What to Do AboutIt by Betsy Hart
The New Dare to Discipline by James Dobson
The Five Love Languages of Children by Gary Chapman and Ross Campbell
Bringing up Boys by James Dobson
Raising a Modern-day Knight by Robert Lewis

This by far is not an exhaustive list, but this is a start if you are looking for parenting resources. I also want to convey that I don't agree 100% with everything in these books. Make sure you compare everything with Scripture, but most of these authors have years of experience and advice I hold valuable. By the way, we are planning to do a Lifegroup in the fall entitled: Kids who stand out by Chip Ingram. It's a wonderful study on parenting. Keep parenting!
