• Winning the Heart of Your Child is a useful handbook for all parents.

Read this book, buy it for your friends, lead it's study as a group. This is a book that can make a difference in generations to come.
• This is a great book to start rethinking our relationships with our kids. There is a lot of material to discuss and ponder and be challenged by. Challenging and practical. Highly recommend for parents who want a solid relationship with their kids.
• I love that Mike and Kristen get it. They are walking the walk. Practical tools from people who know that sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't but we never give up. The books are personable and feel more like a conversation with your friend who gets it and gets you.
• Mike prepares the reader for potentially scary changes in our relationships with our kids and uses great real world examples to illustrate his points. Our goal needs to be to win the hearts of our kids; not to always be right and the one with the power. Developing a loving and respectful relationship is the most important thing. This can be a challenge but Mike gives great advice about how to get there.
• I've only read the introduction so far, but I can't wait to dive into this book and see how it changes my relationships with my foster kids!
• There is nothing in the world more important than winning the heart of my children. Thank you, Mr. Berry, for the jolt I needed to change the way I parent my children.
• Awesome read like Mike’s others books. Down to earth resources for parents and Grandparent. Keep on the journey, don’t forget where you are going
• Winning the Heart of Your Child focuses on nine keys that will help parents to bridge the gap between them and their children and build a better relationship. Berry talks about how to use your time wisely as parents. He encourages us to think about the legacy we want to leave behind and focus on that instead of winning arguments which won’t matter in the long run.
  
  As the father of eight adoptive children, Berry reminds us that one of the major roles of parents is nurturing. It’s not just the role of the mother – both parents ought to nurture their children.
  
  Know God – Berry reminded us that Satan is an opponent of family. He seeks to destroy our connection to our children through fear. Satan tells us that we are inadequate and that we have already failed to parent our children effectively. He uses these lies to hinder us as parents. But thank God for Jesus. Through Christ, we have the power to diminish the negative voices which speak lies into our parenting journey and instead focus on the One who is Truth and Light.
  
  While not overtly Christian, Winning the Heart of Your Child teaches biblical principles. This book will remind you that your children are a gift from God and should be celebrated for who they are and supported along their journey.
  
  Know yourself – throughout Winning the Heart of Your Child, Berry shared stories from his own parenting journey. These stories encourage us to afford ourselves grace as we parent our children. We need to also learn to identify the things which hamper us as parents. Doing this will help us to actively work on those things so we can be better parents, parents who pursue the hearts of our children.
  
  Run your race – the key to being a good parent is to remember that each of us has a unique journey. Our children are different and so are we. While we are able to follow the same principles and have similar results, we have to get away from our practice of comparing ourselves to other parents. We have to stop comparing our children to other peoples’ children. Allow our children to be themselves as we focus on winning their hearts.
