Yes, Sears' book is good, but anyone who reads Ezzo is condidtioned against
Sears and attachment parenting.  In _Preparation for Parenting_ Ezzo really bags
AP as being humanistic and producing little brats who whine, push children off
swings, and steal.  So, trying to get an Ezzo parent to read Sears is difficult.

Ezzo gets the "God of order" thing from 1 Corinthians 14:33  "For God is not the
author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints." Many
versions translate "peace" as "order."  How Ezzo manages to expound an entire
parenig "method" from this one verse, while ignoring so many other verses about
who God is, is beyond me.  Not to mention he *misinterprets* it anyway, because
the orginal Greek carries absolutely NO hint of "schedule or routine" but
"tranquility (national), peace, security, prosperity".

I'm going to go out on a limb here and link you to my article "A Review and
Commentary of Prepation for Parenting"
http://www.ITWMinistries.com/cornerstone/gfi/warning2.html which has some more
information about Ezzo's Biblical errors.  Bear in mind that I'm a lay person,
not a theologian!
