I felt like a handful of sore thumbs, standing in the foyer of an unfamiliar church, surrounded by young couples with baby-carriers.\u00a0 I was very single and childless, and here I was at a parenting conference!\u00a0 The church I was working for at the time had paid my way, and I was looking forward to gleaning all I could from the teaching, but, nevertheless, I felt out of place.<\/p>\n

Then the speaker got up, and I didn\u2019t feel so out of place anymore. He had the most unusual pant-jacket-sweater vest combo I\u2019ve ever seen and an iconic walrus mustache. (Paul Tripp, if you read this, please don\u2019t take offense!)\u00a0 For the next two days, I was surprised to find my heart being laid on an operating table and dissected as idol after idol emerged. I couldn\u2019t believe how many selfish ways had crept into my life and how little I actually connected the Bible to parts of my life.<\/p>\n

Whether you have children or not, this book will benefit you.\u00a0 If you teach children on a regular basis, this book will benefit you. \u00a0If you spend most of your days with children, this book will\u00a0really<\/em>\u00a0benefit you.<\/p>\n<\/div>Needless to say, I bought the book that bore the name of the conference:\u00a0 Shepherding a Child\u2019s Heart<\/a><\/em>, written by the speaker\u2019s brother, Tedd Tripp.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re unfamiliar with this resource, allow me to recommend it to you with my highest commendation.\u00a0 Whether you have children or not, this book will benefit you.\u00a0 If you teach children on a regular basis, this book will benefit you. \u00a0If you spend most of your days with children, this book will really<\/em> benefit you.<\/p>\n

Tedd Tripp covers so many different areas of parenting and shows God\u2019s perspective. Today\u2019s book market is glutted with self-help books for parents, many of which offer common sense or behavioral modification techniques that may put a band-aid on parenting problems, but which miss the child\u2019s (and the parent\u2019s) heart altogether.\u00a0 The advantage of this book is that it gets at the root of parenting issues and presents practical solutions that stem from the biblical principles discussed.\u00a0 You will be equipped not only to see the danger spots in your child\u2019s heart, but you will also be given \u201cshepherding tools\u201d to guide your child well.<\/p>\n

Beware, though!\u00a0 Before you can apply the principles of this book, you\u2019ll find that God applies them to your heart first. Get ready to be a little uncomfortable as God\u2019s truth reveals areas of your heart that you\u2019d rather not acknowledge.<\/p>\n

But the good news is that, once God\u2019s truth changes your heart, you\u2019ll be able to see to help your child change.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
