Book Report

I just wanted to share a book I just finished and also share some resources I have discovered and am excited about. "Respectable Sins" by Jerry Bridges is the book I recently finished and it was very good! It is about the acceptable sins we as Christians we tolerate in our lives or we just don't recognize them as "serious" sins. What a wake up call to read this book... it deals with sins like anxiety, critical attitudes, our unkind speech about others, our impatience and anger. Some chapters that really spoke to me were about impatience and irritability...wow ...love covers a multitude of sins ...even the unitentional things people do to irritate us and cause us to respond in a sinful way. The chapter on anger was excellent and really helped me define and understand some of the "weeds of anger"....resentment and bitterness. The book also gives hope and resolve to help you with these sins.



I also discovered some really neat resources for parenting. In the back of recipe book I have it listed some really cool helps . Since then I have had the opportunity to look at some of these resources from a friend and wow..they are really neat. I wish I would have had some of these helps when I first started training my kids. Here is a list of books worth checking out.



"Shepherding a Child's heart."..my favorite parenting book!

"The Heart of Anger"...do you have an angry child or an angry parent?

"For instruction in Righteousness"...a topical guide to use each time you discipline your children
(this is awesome and such a help..gives you scripture verses and biblical examples and ideas for disciplining..a MUST have!)

"Polished Cornerstones" and "Plants Grown Up" ..These are a really neat resource to use for your boy or girl their whole life ..using reading , writing, Bible study, and activites
