In search of a list of books to recommend
and we may already have this but I don't remember if anything ever got stacked . .. but a list of books that can be recommended for those wanting to do studies on strengthening the family in non-"Traditional" models and language. (IOW, not FOTF, etc.).
I've got Van Vondervan's Families Where Grace is in Place and my own Grace-Based Living, but are there others that are good and solid and, if possible, with study guides?

Re: In search of a list of books to recommend
Tim Kimmel's Grace Based Parenting is my favorite GBD book. I would love to get my hands on his other relationship/family books, but haven't had it in the budget yes. He even has one geared toward grandparents and their role!
I've read everything by L.R. Knost except her most recent (Jesus the Gentle Parent) and they were all great. Very applicable stuff. Give Them Grace has one offhand line about "of course this doesn't mean we don't spank our children" or something absurd like that, that pretty much runs counter-intuitive to the message of the entire rest of her book. *headscratch* Otherwise I would recommend it. Spirit-Led Parenting: From Fear to Freedom in Baby's First Year is my favorite grace-based book for the very early days, when new parents might be particulalry tempted to cave to sleep training.

Re: In search of a list of books to recommend
Thank you!
Are there any that address the entire family dynamic? Marriage, parenting, etc. Not just parenting (or even primarily parenting). That's where I'm getting stuck

An old classic that has given me much and prevented me from many mistakes is "What's a Family"" by Edith Schaeffer. I wonder if it has been reprinted or still available somewhere, but it is a very good book, and it deals with the whole family dynamics. |

Re: In search of a list of books to recommend
This thread has been very helpful - I've hit Amazon now I really feel the need to reinforce what I somehow instinctively know with Scripture and a sound, thought-through approach that I can confidently discuss with others... almost everyone I know follows parent led parenting!

Re: In search of a list of books to recommend
I loved How to Really Love Your Child by Ross Campbell. He is endorsed by FOTF, but his language is gentle and he makes a wonderful case against spanking and even punishing.
Scream Free Parenting was long and dragged, but my husband really liked it. I liked how so much responsibility to manage yourself and your reactions was taken from the children and put on you. I can't remember if he mentioned using time outs, but I am certain the book did not paint children as would be tyrants that would destroy your marriage if you did not get them in line.
