IRB Media Summary of Tedd Tripp's Shepherding a Child's Heart

Annotation

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview: #1 Parents should focus on the heart, not the externals of behavior. When we miss the heart, we miss the gospel, the glory of God, and the need for grace.#2 I have written this book to apply the principles I have seen bear good fruit in my life and in the counseling and pastoral ministry God has given me. I have sought to apply the principles of the Bible to the task of parenting.#3 Shepherding a Child's Heart is a book that teaches you what your goals as a parent should be, and how to pursue them practically. It teaches you how to engage your children about what matters, and how to address their hearts by your words and actions.#4 The old ways of parenting no longer work. Old authoritarian methods are ineffective against a culture that no longer responds to authority. Today's parents are frustrated and confused, and children do not act like they should.
