Handbook of Scriptures to Grow On is an indispensable book for Christian parents. It is a thin book, just a little over 150 pages, of verses topically arranged by everyday character and behavioral issues.
The beauty of scripture is that, as we teach our children, we grow with them. Knowing what God says about various issues helps to mold our parenting and to teach us to embrace the same verses for our own living. The best way to teach our children is to set an example in our own lives. The verses are helpful and worth memorizing together.
As an aside, because it is so easy to find pertinent verses, this is a perfect book to grab while you’re taking a moment to collect your thoughts before going to speak to your child about a discipline issue. It will give you confidence to speak to them from a godly perspective, and not just as another human being (“because *I* said so”). You can show them the actual verse about why what they did was wrong, and why it is offensive to God – not just to you. With this knowledge, you can appeal to their spirituality (and even open the door to discussion) and you can lead them to confess their specific sin and renew their relationship with the Lord AND with you.
The only problem I have with the book is that the references are in the New International Version, and I prefer the NASB or KKJV. Still, you can take the reference and quickly look up the verse in your preferred translation.
