for instruction in righteousness...

...is a "topical reference guide for Biblical child-training"....

from back cover:

the Bible contains everything we need to know about child training. for instruction in righteousness is simply a handbook to help you use the Bible as you train up your children for the Lord.

use this book as a quick reference during everyday discipline situations, as a manual for family worship, as a guide to personal Bible study.

find out what God says about sins, what He promises will happen to the sinner, how He blesses those who obey. take those truths from Scripture and use them as a pattern for practical discipline and reward ideas to use with your children.

this is life-changing material!

"All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting, and training (instruction) in righteousness, so that the man of God may by thoroughly equipped for every good work."

-2 Tim. 3:16-17-

my friend, jessica, recommended this book to me about three years ago. boy- am i glad i listened to her?! this book has been an amazing tool in the disciplining of my children (namely my eldest). i ordered it online and it's a tad pricey (around $30 on amazon), but it's worth every penny! you can quickly look up any situation you are dealing with (be it: anger, defiance, lying, unkind speech, bullying, etc.) and find practical ways to teach and discipline your child in a loving and godly manner. i have to say that i am guilty of not using this resource enough. last week, i was able to recommend it to two friends. last night, another friend who has the book was telling me about how she used it yesterday, with her oldest child. i highly recommend for instruction in righteousness. please don't let the outdated cover fool you. we all know better than to judge a book by it's cover!!
