I have a question about the ole' controversial verse Spare the rod, spoil the child......I take this verse to mean if you do not discipline your child, you are doing them a disservice..........(I was told that the rod in the Bible was used to guide the sheep--so therefore in my mind, I think...not "beat" the sheep).....many people take this to mean that God wants you to spank your children. I believe the form of discipline a parent uses is very personal. However, there DOES needs to be some form.....of consistant, appropriate discipline, whatever that is. Could you please tell me your thoughts? Is it your opinion that this verse does mean that spanking is what this verse means? Ron,

I would definitely buy it and read it at least once a year. I wish you would write a book about parenting, or just compile everything you’ve already written into a book.
