Perspectives on Spanking
“What does the Bible say about spanking?”
It’s a really hard question, and you’re asking because you want to parent “the right way.”
Actually, we get asked about spanking a lot, and, despite what each side of the Great Spanking Debate says, it’s not all black-and-white.
So we wrote this book.
Perspectives on Spanking is our free gift to you. In a nonjudgmental way, we explore these questions about spanking:
- Is the great spanking debate a clear-cut issue?
- Is there a single, right answer?
- Does the Bible tell Christians to spank, or not to spank?
- How we can we look at the Bible for guidance on spanking?
- What does the current brain research say?

“I loved – LOVED – the spanking document. It not only encapsulated what I was thinking and feeling about spanking with my journey as a mother, but it also used biblical discipline to back it up! And it very seamlessly backed up what CF’s principles and book are all about.”

“We really appreciated a new perspective and especially the initial focus on parental motivation. I think we are not unique in this matter, but we felt helpless, overwhelmed and unsure at the beginning of our parenting journey and we had no idea that our little ones had opinions of their own and that obedience is a habit to be developed and habits take time and grace.”

“A thoughtful, biblical look at the practice of spanking for those who believe spanking is biblically mandated or for those who are on the fence about it.”
