This is a book by pastor William Bacon that attempts to cover a
wide range of issues that parents must confront in helping their
children become responsible Christians. It takes the controversial
position that corporeal punishment, although it should be avoided,
must be used when children do not readily accept other forms of
inducement to obey parental authority. Not everyone will agree with
its premises, but it provides critical information on the
justification for physical discipline. William Bacon believed in
the concept of a household "absolute government"; the child must
understand that ultimate law and justice rest with the parents, and
refusal of requests by children cannot be tolerated. Bacon also
believed in what we today would call behaviorism: that the human
child, like other creatures, can only attain a productive life
through guidance that is clear, steadfast, and goal-orientated. The
natural tendency in man is to disobey, and if his tendencies are
not checked, he will fall into moral ruin. Consequently, Bacon does
not hesitate in condemning parents who are too lazy or too weak to
adequately discipline their children. Discipline to him meant
whatever it took to make children conform to their parents'
requests. Although harsh treatment is distasteful, Bacon believes
not only will this form of correction benefit society, but will
also, according to his analysis of Biblical scripture, immeasurably
help the child's soul.
