(broken)
Teach Them Diligently / Priolo
Grace Based Parenting / Kimmel
The Mission of Motherhood / Clarkson
Creative Correction / Whelchel
The Heart of Anger / Priolo
Give Them Grace / Fitzpatrick and Thompson
Successful Christian Parenting / John MacArthur
The Power of a Praying Parent / Omartian
Have a New Kid By Friday / Leman
Shepherding a Child's Heart / Tripp
Don't Make Me Count To Three / Plowman
A Mom After God's Own Heart / Elizabeth George
The Ministry of Motherhood / Clarkson
The Five Love Languages of Children / Chapman & Campbell
The Duggars: 20 And Counting! / Duggar

Saw it shared by someone on facebook. The choices seem like a random collection of parenting books but the person who made the list apparently loves them all.
Which ones would you consider anti-GBD?
I have only read parts of Creative Correction (the parts I read creeped me out: she is gleeful about getting back at her kids "creatively" (read: abusively and arbitrarily), and skimmed through The Power of a Praying Parent (as I recall she is another gleeful punisher but you have to read between the lines to get that; heavy on kids-as-sinners.)
I remember liking Have a New Kid By Friday, but I read it early on and probably wouldn't like much of it now.

Which of these books do you think are the best/worst of the bunch?
