For the Love of Discipline: When the Gospel Meets Tantrums and Time-Outs

by Sara Wallace Narrated by Nan McNamara

Overview

NO PARENT ENJOYS DISCIPLINING . . . but we know it's important, so we grit our teeth and make it happen!



. . . Right? Or can it be more than something we just "put up with"?



Sara Wallace, a mother of five, brings you a personal, frank account of her own journey with discipline-and introduces an entirely new way to look at it. Not as something we do to our children, but as something we do for them . . . not as a necessary evil, but as a beautiful privilege!



We can be glad when our children disobey while still in our care-they are showing us where they need to be strengthened and encouraged, giving us a chance to shape their hearts.



Would you like to feel equipped, and excited, to discipline? Here are practical tools, specific skills, a solid gospel foundation, and specific day-by-day things you can say and do to make disciplining your children intentional and consistent.

Editorial Reviews

Kristi James

"As a mom and pastor's wife with three kids aged four and under, I once ordered five parenting books in one day. I was looking for gospel-centered guidance for thinking through our philosophy of discipline for our family—I was looking for For the Love of Discipline! Sara's concepts combine personal experience with wonderfully practical tips, helping to guide parents in the godly task of loving our children in the way we discipline them. I've already begun implementing many of her ideas in our home."

Paul Tautges

"I don't know the last time I read such a refreshing, biblically balanced parenting book. As she comes alongside moms to speak grace and truth into their hearts, Sara Wallace navigates through both plain and tricky areas of child discipline. And she does it with grace and the gentleness of wisdom! All the while she maintains the centrality of the gospel, dependence upon the Holy Spirit, and an eye intentionally fixed upon eternity. I highly recommend this little treasure."

Summer Lacy

"As a mom to three boys, you can imagine the kind of mad respect I have for a mother to five boys. Sara Wallace shoots straight about the importance of discipline in raising our children. If you want your discipline to point your kids to the gospel but don't know where to start, this is your go-to manual."

Kevin Carson

"What should my discipline look like, sound like, and seek to do? How is it possible to do everything my family demands and also take time to discipline my children? Does discipline really help anyway?” If you are a mom or have hopes of becoming a mom and have questions similar to these, this book is for you. Sara Wallace shares her journey as she seeks to faithfully parent her five children in light of the gospel. She writes honestly from a sense of process, not destination. She comes alongside you as a friend and fellow struggler, striving to honor God with gospel-saturated discipline.
