Westminster Books is having a one-week sale on Paul Tripp's video series Getting to the Heart of Parenting for 75% off. I'm mentioning this video because at our church, my wife has been in an adult Sunday School class where they have been discussing parenting. They went through this exact series by Tripp, and it was truly a much needed series for her, and for us.
One of the things which Tripp does in this series is emphasize that these are not only people which we are raising, but also that every misbehavior is an opportunity to minister to this person. This small realization alone is worth the price of the videos. I have since seen my wife consistently putting this philosophy into action when dealing with our kids, and we have Tripp to thank for our new approach. We originally bought our own copy of the series for twice what WTS is selling it for, so I recommend everybody buy a copy for themselves and for friends with kids. I really can't recommend a video series more highly.
There are ten sessions, total, included in the set, based on the age of your kids. Even though you may only have little ones, you still want to watch all of the sessions so you can see the forest for the trees when it comes to the big picture of parenting:
- Session 1 & 2: What is a family?
- Session 3 & 4: Getting to the Heart of Behavior
- Session 5 & 6: Ages 0-5
- Session 7 & 8: Ages 6-12
- Session 9 & 10: Ages 13 - ?
Hi Adam,
ReplyDeleteI sat through a Sunday School class in which we watched eight weeks of Paul Tripp.
It was just great. Very edifying!
I'd listen to him anytime because it would only be good for me.
