Seriously, look at them, people who did not like this book consist of:
1. People with short attentions spans, who didn't even read the whole book in it's entirety. People are looking for the fantasy book equivalent of a B ...

Don't Make Me Count to Three: a Mom's Look at Heart-Oriented Discipline
Ginger Plowman
Shepherd Press, 2004
Definitely a Keeper!
This book is great! Some reviews have said that it promotes spanking, but the bottom line is that if you don't spank you are doing your child a disservice and that's exactly what this author is saying in her book. She doesn't say that a parent should be abusive and ...
