Synopsis

This new release is written for Christian school teachers, administrators and parents. The task of teaching and training Christian young people to behave is much easier when the principles contained in this book are put into practice. Central to this effort is realizing that spiritual forces are influencing the inappropriate behavior. Being successful against these principalities and powers requires Christian parents and educators to be fully prepared for battle. They must arm themselves with powerful strategies to cause change in the lives of Christian young people. Following the strategies outlined in this book will help foster a disciplined lifestyle for Johnny and Susie and train them to keep the devil off their back and out of their lives. PowerPoint presentations for staff training and chapels are also available upon request.

From the Inside Flap

The search for a disciplined learning environment is one reason why thousands of parents elect to send their children to Christian schools. A school offering strong discipline is an attractive haven from a permissive, self-indulgent society with its ever increasing negative effects of secular television, movies, videos, DVDs, CDs, radio, drugs, alcohol and sex. Establishing and maintaining a climate of strong discipline continues to be a lasting pursuit of every teacher and administrator. Such an environment is essential for learning to take place.
