Negative Positive
Title: Scripture does not require us to spank, Mr, Tripp
Review: I read this book at the recommendation of a close friend. I am a conservative Christian and strongly disagree with spanking, but I wanted to actually read the book to be open to new ideas in child rearing. I was so disgusted when I got to the spanking chapter, I do not buy into the claim that I am required by Scripture to spank my children. Of course Christ wants us to discipline our children and teach them to obey. However, this book just reinforced our belief in not hitting our children. We manage to discipline our children without fear, humiliation, and physical pain. And our children respect authority, boundaries, and are well-behaved children who want to obeyus and honor the Lord. Anything else he said in his book that may have been good was lost when I read his silly philosophy on spanking. Wanted to give it negative stars. I threw this book in the trash.
Is the review positive or negative?
