Thanks for compiling them.  I see a few on there that I’ve heard good things about and a few that I’ve never heard of.  But I’ve recently started doing some counseling at our local pregnancy test center, and reading some of these books will help me as I’m helping soon-to-be-moms walk into their new role.

Bless you for compiling that lovely list.

Yay!  Thank you!

That is a good list of books.  I am going to jot down some of those.  I have read the Love languages one, it was very good, and Captivating, also a very good one.

Jamie,

Ooooh, I think I’ll have to add a couple of those to my list – especially the first one. Thanks!

This post is quite old, but just had to share the gems I’ve found: 

“Hints on Child Training” by H. Clay Trumbull (love the lack of presumption even in the title–contrast that with “Growing Kids God’s Way”).  This book was written by Elisabeth Elliot’s great grandfather in 1890 at age 60, after raising 8 children of his own.  I appreciate the timelessness of his thoughts and ideas.  MUCH wisdom in this book.  A broad spectrum of parenting issues are addressed.

I, too, found the “Strong-Willed Child or Dreamer” book very helpful in understanding not only some of my children, but also myself!

Loved “Shepherding a Child’s Heart” and would highly recommend “Instructing a Child’s Heart” (the follow-up book) for practical ways to implement the ideas from the first book.  Also, Ginger Plowman’s “Don’t Make Me Count to Three!”

Another good one, along the same lines, is “Parenting is Heart Work.”

“Grace Based Parenting” is on my nightstand, too.

And, finally, reading the “Little House” books aloud to my kids always inspires me as a mother…love that Ma Ingalls!
