Grace Based Parenting Set Your Familiy Free Book

I don't know if it was the writer's style or the present mood or circumstances I've been in, but I had to put the book down. Every time I'd put pick it up, I'd eventually find myself in a disgruntled mood (about life, my marriage and the ways were were each brought up). I got through over half the book. I thought the ideas and precepts were really good, but the ways he elaborated on them were not helpful. I found him more critical of people that don't parent "right" and he seemed prone to using scare tactics to deter parents. The scare tactics were used as either "you get only one chance at getting it right". He did not come across as a gracious author and his book is based on grace. I was always confused and conflicted as I read. He said parents should parent like God, but there were little specifics on how God parents. The best thing that I took from him was encouragement to let my children be in the world and not isolate them in a controlled 'Christian' environment. This takes courage and wisdom, both of which I am challenged to seek God more on. I'm discouraged that I couldn't finish the book since so many people like it, maybe I'll try again later...
