When your children are young read Tripp's first book "Shepherding a Child's Heart" to get a big picture of your parenting philosophy, but then when they get older and more complicated (the average age amongst our five kids is 10 right now,) read this book "Instructing a Child's Heart" to help guide where the rubber meets the road in your journey of gospel centered parenting. I found this book at exactly the time we needed it and I have been so blessed and encouraged! this book truly was a pleasure to read, and I think that should be read by any parents seeking to lead their children in biblical instructions in the fear of the lord.there is so much simple practical advice that is absolutely priceless. I read shepherding a child's heart several years ago nm considering we doing it again. This book is a fantastic companion to that book it is full of biblical truth.
Very helpful, convicting, deep waters. Helped me look at my kids and parenting differently.

Shepherding a Child's heart was better, in my opinion.

A great book but it could have been shortened a bit.
