The introduction discusses the responsibilities of parents, Scripture as our authority in discipline, and Scripture’s example of teaching through stories, object lessons, songs, and memorials. Explains examples of discipline situations, and how to use the topical information when disciplining your children.
We want our children to understand that “right” and “wrong” are absolutes, based on God’s standards, not ours. If we train our children to submit to the authority of God’s standards, those standards will not change when the children grow up and leave the authority of our homes.
We don’t want to discipline in anger; we want to show grief over the child’s sin, and we want to lead him to true repentance.
When we discipline, we want to picture for our children our heavenly Father’s holiness and His mercy. That is why we went to the Bible and started studying.
This book is a wealth of material for parents’ personal Bible study, family worship, character training, unit studies, and Bible study projects for older children.

I homeschooled my children when they were very young and we were blessed to have been introduced to your wonderful products.
When I began working at private Christian schools in our area, the "For Instruction in Righteousness" book came with me. This book has been used for 10 years to help bring children to God's Word and His ways. Many children that needed guidance due to discipline issues, have been touched by the teachings of this wonderful book.
I strongly recommend the "If Then Chart" (worked wonders in our home when my children were younger) and the "Blessing Chart" was a must as well.

I love this parenting tool. The only problem with it is that I don't use it often enough! I tend to go to it only when we seem to have a severe problem with something. It's a very handy quick reference to find a plethora of appropriate Bible passages. It includes not only verses dealing with the negative character trait and it's consequences, but also gives verses for the opposite Godly trait and it's corresponding blessings. Definitely recommend. I also have appreciated finding some good alternate "punishments".

My husband and I love that all of your products are based entirely on God's word! This is great Biblical council for parenting.

We all know the instructions are in the Word, but sometimes its tough to get your hands on that one scripture when you can't remember the reference. You can teach, meditate, and discipline with this AWESOME topical compilation. Beautiful, just beautiful! Highly recommend it!
