Book Review: Growing Kids with Character by Hettie Brittz

This book was given to me by Litefuse for my honest review:
And let me stress the word HONEST from that statement. This book is a gem for someone who likes to garden and desires to have every aspect of child-rearing put in the form of gardening.
Check out the chapter titles:

 Though I agree with pretty much everything in this book it's not one that held my interest. Everything is put very, very basic with lots of bullet points:

Lots of them:

 And though the text is broken up it is almost in an attempt to make it more interesting. I personally didn't find it helped.

That said this may be a stellar book for some people and I may pass it around to some friends to see what they think. It has a simple style to it and basic information. She uses her own children and refers to them as specific garden imagery helping you to sort out your child's needs accordingly. This book claims to be able to:

• Cultivate your child's unique way of encountering, following, and worshipping God
• Disciple and discipline based on your child's very own blueprint
• recognize your child's strongest characteristics and apply that knowledge to everyday life.
• Speak your child's unique dialect to foster effective communication 
• Help your child recognize and celebrate God's individualized design for others.

This book is a sort of simple "manual" for child raising and comes in a good format for that.
