Lindsey G. is right-on in her review of this book. If you must read this book, then you must also read the opposite parenting book, by Dr. Ross Campbell, "How To Really Love Your Child" or his newer book, "Relational Parenting." Compare and contrast the two books and then make your decision about how to relate to your child.
Just because an author uses religious language and is a Christian does not make the content of the book Christian. Beware!
Also, ask yourself what your end goal in raising your child is. Is it just behavior control? If so, "To Train Up A Child" will be a good answer until your child is no longer a child... You can certaily control his behvior this way. If your end goal is something deeper and more important that mere behavior control, then "To Train Up A Child" will not get you very far. Read books by Dr. Campbell. He co-wrote "The Five Love Languages of Children" which you have undoubtedly heard of as a respected book in every parenting circle.
