No Greater Joy contains sound biblical teaching on how God intended parents to raise up children. I would say to the people that wrote bad reviews that they have failed to understand the moderation and discernment that all parents are required to have in diciplining their children. The Pearls specifically state that if is a question of discipline or fellowship, you should ALWAYS choose to be in close fellowship with your child, which means sometimes forgoing discipline. They do not advocate a spank-happy family.
Pr 13:24 He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes.

The people best qualified to review the pearls,( No Greater Joy, Volume 3)are their children. Examine their opinion on child training. You can find them all at the Tennesse State Prison. Just kidding! It seems that many of the negative reviews on this book expect that outcome. The Pearl kids are all grown with children of their own. They are loving life and seeing good days. They aren't seeing an analyist. They earn a living and also write articles on child rearing and many other subjects, from a Christian world view. I am sorry to disappoint those who think that following the Bible will lead to child abuse. The Pearl kids are a walking answer to the critics.My wife and I loved this book.

I don't know which is more digusting, that someone would advise treating children so cruelly in the very first place or that they would smear Jesus Christ and Christianity by doing it in Christ's name. Pearl, who has no training in child care or development whatsoever, advises beating infants on the bare skin with sticks for crying! Not only is this alien to the teachings of Jesus, but also to everything that modern science tells us produces happy, healthy, obedient children. Read the Bible (the whole thing people), read modern science, but avoid this vicious quackery like the plague! Shame on Amazon for selling a book like this and shame on them for removing reviews that are critical of it.

This is nothing short of a child abuse manual. My children are very well behaved and neither I nor my husband have ever hit them with our hands or any other object. If you are a true Christian, you should be following the NEW Testament, not the OLD testament. It is only in the old testament that Soloman alludes to a rod. Although even there, the quote is misinterpreted. Rods were used to GUIDE the sheep, not beat them with. In the new Testament Jesus held children in the highest esteem and said that those who offend them should hang a millstone around their neck and drown in the sea. Jesus never advocated hitting, whipping or shaming children. You can set limits and have logical and natural consequences for inappropriate behavior without resorting to violence against children. Violence begets violence. Hitting people is wrong and children are people too. Try reading Stephen Bavoleks Nurturing Parenting Program materials instead of this trash.
