What do you hope folks will gain from this project? The concept of honor has helped me see the difference between families that are mediocre and those that are successful. We wrote this book after doing a four-year study on honor in the Bible and in life and were excited to write it all down. We've applied honor to sibling conflict, teenagers, parental discipline, and just teaching kids how to be successful in life. We believe that God has hidden success principles within honor.
That's why he commanded that honor be learned in family life. Be bibilcal, practical, focus on the heart, and look for adult solutions to children's problems. These goals help us stay on track in providing parents with the most effective parenting solutions.

View 1 comment. Mar 31, Penny Minding Mom rated it it was amazing. What I read was incredibly straight forward and I can see my parenting style reflected in many of the examples, but I think what stuck home most for me was the difference between parenting from respect and parenting from honour… I wanted my children to do what I asked, without question.
I forget that they are little people with their own feelings and wants. In order for my children honour me, I have to honour them too.
The book has shown me ways to still teach my children how to obey but also teach them ways to tell me, without whining or complaining that they disagree with me. The biggest difference this book has made in my life is how I handle everyday situations with my daughter. Parenting with honour takes work and self reflection.
At first I just skipped through them, but at about the half way mark in the book, I doubled back and started answering them. They are an important tool in understanding how honour works for you, your relationships and your life. They help you work through what the scriptures say about parenting with honour. Each family is different and has their on unique set of challenges, but this book has made a huge difference in my family. Our family has achieved amazing results in such little time… Would I recommend this book?
Would I suggest reading it through more than once? Even when I go back to reference something in the book I find something new or it refreshes a technique that I have been trying to use.

This is my completely honest opinion above and may differ from yours. Mar 26, Theresa rated it really liked it.
I gave it 4 stars, but I feel it's more like 3. It had some good ideas and I think the premise is excellent. I've always used the word "respect" when teaching my kids how to behave towards others.
But this book makes a distinction between respect and honor. You respect someone because of their position parent, teacher, policeman, etc. But you can honor anyone and you honor by serving and placing the needs and considerations of others above your own. You can respect without honoring, i. So the book's premise is that we are called to honor one another in our families and other relationships. We should be looking for ways to honor one another.
In addition to that insight there were a few helpful tips I took away. But nothing that totally rocked my world. Oct 29, Elizabeth rated it really liked it. I really was attracted to this book because as my preschoolers are getting into more sophisticated language and ideas, we sometimes get stuck in patterns of whining and attitude problems.
I think this book really picks up at chapter 6. The first chapters lay out the ideals of honor parenting, but I think they suffer from too many examples and somewhat disjointed explanations surrounding the anecdotes. Chapter six gets to the heart of how to address the problems each family may be facing.
There is I really was attracted to this book because as my preschoolers are getting into more sophisticated language and ideas, we sometimes get stuck in patterns of whining and attitude problems.
There is also a section of the book specifically for older children and teens that didn't apply to me yet as I am not parenting that age. I didn't really go through that section because I didn't want to get too far ahead of myself. This book I think would be valuable for a book group or parenting group for discussion. It would also be a good book for couples to go through when they feel like they may be straying from their ideal parenting life.

I really like their concept of focusing on honor, and how that changes the attitudes and behaviors of kids when families go beyond obedience and respect, but emphasize honoring each other in the home. Even if honor seems a long way off in your household, you will find practical suggestions here to bring that goal a little closer — suggestions for kids of all ages. Honor is the biblical value that will bring about good behavior. The father of five children, Turansky loves to bring practical solutions to everyday problems.
