As is NGJ Vol. 1, Volume 2 is a great book for those who have read To Train up a Child and still have questions about some of the Pearl's methods. Lots of additional advice and humorous anecdotes!

I was given this book by a girlfriend and fellow church member. We were in the midst of reading "Sheperding a Child's Heart" when conversation changed to " but how do you teach a toddler right/wrong"? Aren't they too young? This book, along with Volume 1 and the Pearl's "To train up a child" is a beautifully written, a well documented Christian book about teaching our children to obey God through us as parents. We are called as God's agents to do so according to scripture. I read some of the neg. reviews and am appauled- they're obviusoly NOT reading it thoroughly and or not beleivers, because the bible clearly states the rod is to be used- period at appropriate time.I appreciate the fact that the authors reiterate that if the parent IS TOO ANGRY, DON'T DISCIPLINE/SPANK at that point. Spanking is meant to be done in a calm, loving manner, so if you didn't get that from their repeated stances, then YOU'RE NOT READING IT CORRECTLY. I never thought I would spank, but I am grateful God has graced me with the knowlege and the love for my child. My husband and I have used the tactics decribed in the Pearls's 1st book with our 16 month old and he is such a wonderful and obedient listener. We have incorporated prayer with him at bedtime and have seen such sweet changes.God is working in him, we see that, but it's because God is guiding us. Good luck!

I would not recommend this book to parents because of the strong reliance on corporal punishment it suggests. If you make children behave by hitting them, what do you do when they become too big to hit?
In general, the techniques taught in this book go against everything the American Psychiatric Association suggests. Their studies find that children treated in this manner will be more likely to act out and rebel against authority. Just because all children who are hit do not have problems does not mean that many of them don't. Another warning: a woman who accidentally killed her foster child claimed that she was following the instructions in this book. Overall, not a good guide to raising emotionally healthy children.

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.

How can humans have such pure evil in them? The innocence of a child is destroyed by such abuse, why do you think there are so many mentally ill people out there? It IS ABUSE, no other way around it!!! It is sad, sick, discusting, and evil. Those people need to be taken away by men in white coats!
