Query: Horrible advice, ungodly in every way - shockingly ignorant and cruel

Should be a choice for no stars at all! This book may claim to be be based on "biblical" precepts, but it is by no means a Christian way to treat anyone, much less a helpless child. Can you imagine Christ advising the beating of children to prevent misbehavior, much less for teaching them anything about life and joy and love? This author is deranged and a control freak, I cannot believe Amazon sells a book that advocates abusing children and keeping them away from even a Christian school, lest they be corrupted. The real motive is too keep control of the child in every way, mentally and physically, lest someone discover the abuse. He advises that beatings commence in infancy for crying: "The rod is not to be used only for punishment (after the fact) but for training (before the fact)."What a creep!SHAME ON ANY BOOKSTORE THAT SELLS THIS BOOK!!
