Grace-filled Living Resources - Apr. 4, 2006
Life in General:
The Grace Awakening by Chuck Swindoll
The book that added bones to my vague understanding of Grace. Essential Reading!
Marriage:
Sacred Marriage by Gary Thomas
Redefines the purpose for marriage . . . what if it's not about making us happy but about making us holy.
For Women Only by Shaunti Feldahn
This is the first book I have ever read that so clearly communicated my husband's mind and heart in a way I could understand it. It was my AHA! book of 2005. She has now written For Men Only
Parenting:
Heartfelt Discipline by Clay Clarkson
This is the book I would have written if I hadn't been so busy raising my nine children. Clearly gets to the heart of parenting. Not as practical as I would like but I believe the heart change is needed in order to implement anything practical. Highly recommend ANYTHING by the Clay and Sally Clarkson
How to Talk so Your Kids will Listen and Listen so Your Kids will Talk by Adele Faber and Elaine Mazlish
Now this one is practical. Very clear examples on communicating with our children.
Grace Based Parenting by Tim Kimmel
Don't actually own this one yet but have skimmed it in the bookstore. My basic impression is that it encompasses both the heart change that grace brings to the parent as well as practical positive application.
Biblical Parenting by Crystal Lutton
This book taught many of the tools that I use in my home on a daily basis.
Five steps, comfort corner, conflict resolution
Good study of the Rod verses included also.

I am new to GBD, and so I appreciate your must-read list. Keep posting! This is a message that the Christian community needs to hear!

I am going to jot down these titles. I'm hoping to get some reading done this summer. I need to spend less time here - or at least limit my time - and more time in the WORD and reading good books.
Thanks for the list!

Of those, I've only read Sacred Marriage. WHAT an AWESOME book. Love it. I almost never read books more than once, but this one is worth reading several times.

and say Happy Mother's Day! and I loved your comments on Chapter 1! I look forward to reading your notes on chap. 2 (no pressure, a genuine compliment)

I'm spread laughter today, i hope!
also here's my idea- tell me what you think of this, I just put a message board on my site mamma1420 for classical homeschoolers. I put the link on classicalmamma too. Here's the link http://triviumacademy.17.forumer.com/ This one will be so any classical hs can talk together. Tell what you think. If you think this is a waste of time, tell me that too. Everyone can put a link on their blog to it as well. Jessica (I figured it didn't hurt)
