Title: sick & sad: promotes child abuse
Review: i don't understand the adoration of this book! while it does address that obedience is not the primary issue (as so many other books do), and focuses on the need to focus on the heart of your child, it misses the mark in a huge way. from endorsing the beating of infants, to a warped view of children in general, from weird theology regarding the role of parents, to the utterly bizarre abusive bare bottom spankings that a small child is to endure without anger or upset, this book is a manual for child abuse and little more. i'm shocked this book is not only sold all over the place, but is given by church leaders to parents upon the births of their children! our children should be given the same respect and mercy that we give to other believers, should be won through love and patience and kindness, not through bullying and beatings.
