A mini-book for parents who are struggling to establish heart-driven, sound behavior patterns with their children
We live in a society dominated by child-centered parenting. A typical walk through a shopping mall, or local grocery store, often reveals this sad truth. The almost incessant whining and misbehavior of out-of-control children leads the discerning person to ask, “Just who is in charge anyway?” In this book, the seasoned parents of ten children provide frazzled moms and dads with practical counsel for bringing order to their home. What’s the key? Instilling respect for God-given authority at an early age. How can this be done? By the faithful application of firm, loving discipline. Here is sound, practical counsel for today’s parents.
Dr. Paul Tautges serves as senior pastor of Cornerstone Community Church in Mayfield Heights, Ohio (a suburb east of Cleveland). Prior to accepting the Lord’s call to Cornerstone, he served as pastor of Immanuel Bible Church in Sheboygan, WI, for twenty-two years. Paul has been married to Karen since 1986. Together they are the grateful parents of ten blessings from God and grandparents to two. Paul is also an adjunct professor of biblical counseling and a conference speaker. He has authored or contributed to ten books including Counseling One Another, Comfort the Grieving, Discipline of Mercy, Brass Heavens, and Scripture and Counseling. Paul also serves as the series editor for the LifeLine Mini-Books from Shepherd Press and is a teaching Fellow with ACBC (Association of Certified Biblical Counselors).
