One of the best self-help books! Encouraging women to become their best selves through the practical, feminine 6 Intimacy Skills. This book has healed me & helped me learn self-love through self-care, & as a fringe benefit healed my relationships. Highly recommend!!!

Sound theology. Parents are encouraged to walk in the spirit and be filled with joy, playfulness and teach their children a work ethic and to model gender roles. This book also offers homshooling ideas. The enphesis of the book is to fellowship with your children and earn their trust by loving on them being mindful of their needs, for example boys needing leeway to burn off all the energy; girls are not rewarded for manipulating behaviour and this book encourages mothers to model what it looks like to honor a child's father. Dicipline is mentioned but is tasteful, depending on the child this aspect of training "reinforces" the respect the child has for a parent. What I take when a spanking or tapping is needed do it with a sincere smile and warmth. (I don't agree with the hair pulling with a nursing baby, and this book doesn't condone slapping or kicking at all.) Have parents in the past used spanking as an excuse to punish a child's idiosyncrasie? Yes, but this book doesn't teach that, only bullies are corrected with spanking. In one chapter Debbie recalls a child smaking glass bottles with a rod, so she politley but firmly tells him to stop and she hits his hand- he gives her a cheecky smile and stops. ( I also don't agree with not allowing a child to snack and look in the fridge. I like to snack too!) I have actually learned several valueable ideologies from this book, for example not forcing children to share their belongings with other children as though the home was run by the communist party. Tension free home, 1 critisim ratio to every 10 praises. My favorite topic is let your children work alongside you, this is invalueable to me since I have learned so much from just observing from how my parents worked and was modeled that working with your hands is enjoyable and can bless others. I value what was written and I have implemented this training with my children and we are a happy bunch. Yes they are still young and the fruits are still yet to show, but in my personal expirience the teachings of Michael and Debbie Pearl have humbled me because I do still see my sinful tendincies to expect more from my children than what I expect from myself, and I have learned to get on my knees and ask for a child's forgivness for my harshness. If this book offends you, I understand you, your voice is heard I don't 100% agree with the authors but thats not what they intended- the biggest lesson I learned is "Wisdom is justified by Her children" and I believe that is what they intended us to learn. - From a finite women

Godly perspective from the Bible, great rescource for all people in all types of relationships. Convicting and relatiable truths. Similiar messages in other books these co-authors have written.
