My house is currently a war zone. 5 has been the toughest year yet, and the defiance is through the roof. While I'm being honest, I tend to lose my patience by bedtime. When all you hear is "no" all day long, it wears you down. I really need a change, and at the same time, I was given the opportunity to review The Christian Parenting Handbook. I am absolutely certain God had this all planned. The ideas, and solutions in this book are exactly what I needed.
This book is all about using tips and techniques backed by the bible to raise our kids to be accountable. The book teaches us parents how to change our children's thinking, into a more Godly awareness. Being accountable for the choices and actions they are making is one thing, but this book focuses on changing the hearts of our children.
I have already started implementing some of these techniques with my babies, and I'm seeing a slow improvement. Having these tools has been amazing. I can't wait to see more progress, and let you all know about it! Until then, I have a huge giveaway for you all today! I have been blessed to give away 5 amazing parenting products.

Great review and post Fallon. I am very impressed with your honesty and vulnerability. That's not easy to do, but it's very powerful. Let me share personally for a moment. This heart-based approach has been revolutionary in my life. It’s helped me as a father, husband, leader, supervisor, coach, and in other areas. Behavior modification is effective if your only desire is to get your children to act a certain way. If you want to shape their character, you need to work on the level of the heart. My sons are both adults now and they are fine young men of good character. We consistently focused on the character quality of honoring others in our family! We returned home from vacation in December to find our whole house cleaned and a Christmas tree in place in the corner of the living room. Now that’s honor! This is just one example of the great insights from this special book.
I love these authors and have been to two of their seminars. They are the only parenting speakers I hear talking about honor. It is such a must needed concept in the family and has really made a difference in mine.
