This book is more of a quick reference guide, but works well with another book called "Teach Them Diligently" that teaches you how to be a godly parent it explains scripture through life and the bible. You can read my review also on the book I just mentioned. I bought both of them 2gether and loved them. A must have for all parents

For those of us parents who have difficulty recalling the exact passage and location in the Bible of a scripture, this book is a dream. Categorized by topic, such as perseverance, honesty or attitude, the book offers multiple scriptures supporting each attribute, and a "questions for discussion page" about each one. The book is helpful as a teaching tool whether for gentle correction or introducing topics for discussion. As my kids have gotten older, they will say, "Mom, what does the book say about (fill in the blank)?"

This book works in wonderful conjunction with the Bible as it leads the reader to ask questions about where passages originate
and what the circumstances were.

I highly recommend this book, whatever the age of your children.

I have loved using this handy resource with my children. In the past week, I have used it for contentment and anger. We went over the definition she gives and I had my children learn one of the verses. It gives us all a point of reference - we know what we SHOULD be doing!! It is great!!!

This is a great book for parents who want to teach their children to apply God's instructions in their lives. I can't think of Bible verses for various things my children do so I appreciate having something in a condensed form for reference. Kara uses topics we all face as parents: anger, giving, cursing, kindness, etc and gives several verses that talk about that particular behavior. She then gives ideas for discussion and activities (for both parent and child) to instill God's words in their lives. This is appropriate for all ages from toddler - teenager. I've used this book a couple of times and it's already saved a few battles with my 8 year old. I even learned a thing or two to incorporate in my life! This would make a great gift for new or expectant parents.
