Compass: A Handbook on Parent Leadership

This book really is a wealth of information, especially for a handbook. However, at times I felt the language was a little too academic and the chapters were so full of info that they took forever to get through. My husband and I read it together, and it was pretty exhausting. Also, the discussion questions at the end were okay, but some were a little forced and repetitive. But, if you can get over those few things, this book really does have some great suggestions and tips on Christian parenting(if you can remember them all!).

James B. Stenson has compiled information from dozens of parents over decades and put together the closest thing to a parental handbook that I can imagine. I've heard it said that there should be a course to teach how to parent. This is that type of guide for the modern parent.It not only gives parental leadership theoretical concepts, but also gets down to specifics. As an example - a list of how to appropriately punish misbehavior at different ages. As a grandparent, I only wish I had read this book 35 years ago, and I plan to buy copies for my adult children.

Actually read this book to help me with those employees under me. As many or just out of school.

Fantastic book that gives great insight into instilling values and morals.

excellent book. I highly recommend this book.

Very relevant.

I knew it before , if you wanna learn something authentic about discipline you should look for the old books and the classic authors like Mr.Stenson .He say it straight and make it easy to know why.

I love this book! It was easy to read and had wonderful practical examples.I started a group discussion with young mothers to help them face the challenges of raising children. Every parent must read this book.

Every parent who wants to instill virtues and life lessons to their children so that they can become successful adults should read this book and other books by James Stenson.
