I found Raising Grateful Kids In An Entitled World to be easy to read, direct and filled with practical advise based upon a strong Biblical foundation. One of the most memorable quotes (for me) from this book is ... "Correct kids when they are young (birth to elementary). Direct them as they grow (middle school, junior high). Connect with them as they get older (high school and on)."

Reading this book spoke to my heart and I found some really useful tips that I plan to implement for myself and my family.

Thank you to Edelweiss and Tyndale publishing for a free book in exchange for an honest review. ( )
