Do you believe your struggle with anger stems from the wrong behavior you see displayed in your children? The knee-jerk reactions and blow-ups you’re facing are often a result of a bigger set of “triggers.” Some of these are external, like a child’s disobedience, backtalk, or selective hearing, while others are internal, like an overflowing schedule, sleep-deprivation, or perhaps your own painful experiences from childhood.
Triggers: Exchanging Parent’s Angry Reactions for Gentle Biblical Responses examines common parenting issues that cause us to explode inappropriately at our children. Moving beyond simple parenting tips on how to change your child’s behavior, authors Amber Lia and Wendy Speake offer biblical insight and practical tools to equip and encourage you on the journey away from anger-filled reactions toward gentle, biblical responses.

5.0 out of 5 stars God is transforming my response with his Word in this book. 100% practical and Biblical

Both of you them used verses in this book that I never related to my relationship with my toddler, I don't have enough words to express how God has changed me with this book, also the picture of the book is perfect and I that was what got my attention because it expresses what one feels in those trigger moments. Now every moment that has a trigger those verses come to my mind and His Spirit stops me from a bad response. One of the best books I'd read in my parenting journey.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Parenting Book Yet! Will re-read often!
Reviewed in the United States on June 4, 2019
Verified Purchase
I have 5 kids and because there are so many varying seasons and individual challenges, I have read many (countless) parenting books over the years. I am very sincere when I say this is the best one I have read yet. First of all, I love the way it is organized. It is set up to read through in a month, with one topic to tackle a day, in do-able, busy-mom-friendly sections. Score! Second of all, there are 31 topics, so Amber and Wendy hit all the ones I can think of and then some. Each one I have pulled great wisdom and encouragement from, not to mention, I have been challenged to look inwardly at my words, motives, and actions and how they relate to or affect my child(ren). It is truly a life-changing guide and one that I will continue to read, because it is so packed with the gentle but firm reminders that I need to be a gentle, God-honoring, loving mother who can daily choose to walk in a way that points my children to the One who made them and has great plans for them. I am so grateful to Amber and Wendy for baring their own histories and lives with fellow moms and creating such a Biblically sound guide that is packaged perfectly for daunted moms in the loud, busy and often chaotic environment of raising children. I would wish every mother could have a copy of this in her home!

I honestly went into this not knowing what to expect, and I was blown away by how much I got out of it! It has made me think so much more about different approaches to biblical parenting. It has so many references to the Bible and so much scripture to back up everything that they’re saying. It is convicting, enlightening, encouraging, honest, real, and such an easy read. Hands down one of the best parenting books that I’ve ever read! I would highly recommendation this to every parent!

As a mom to little boys ages 3 and 4 and a newborn boy this book has been a lifesaver for me. It has been so convicting but in the best way! I love how this book teaches us as moms to examine our OWN hearts first and I enjoy the scriptures throughout. I have already recommended this book to friends and the pages are already written on, highlighted, and ear marked. Great book! I’m thankful for these resources and to hear from other moms (especially boy moms) who have been there.

5.0 out of 5 stars I discovered that I had several triggers and learning to identify them helped me be better prepared to respond to them and my littles
Reviewed in the United States on August 11, 2017
Verified Purchase
It surprised me and caught me totally off guard the first time I got angry at my toddler. He was my second born, and my first born was at an age where was certainly ascerting his own will. I had amanaged to be a composed and kind mother so far and I thought that it would be possible to do it all the time. I was so wrong! I then found the No More Angry MOB group on FB. That group, and the founders were a God-send. I discovered that I had several triggers and learning to identify them helped me be better prepared to respond to them and my littles.
I was part of this group when triggers was a daily question followed up by advice and comments and it blessed me so I was so excited and thankful when Wendy and Amber announce Triggers would become a book.
I love the way the book is organized, the way it begins with a personal story followed by a biblical and practical approach to a particular trigger and a prayer at the end. It is not a "How-to-step-by-step" book, it will not solve all your problems and t will not change you immediately into a happy mom who always respond with a cheery tone every time. Rather, this book will challenge you to look deep within, to address your own heart, to discover and identify and name your triggers, it will point you to Scripture, it will encourage you and help you pave the way to change your reactions into a proactive approach. It will provide you with helpful bible verses that you can memorize or put on your kitchen and go to them when you're facing a situation with your people. If God has put in your heart a desire to be a mom who speaks truth seasoned with LOVE and GRACE and GENTLENESS, this is a very practical book for you. Give it a chance!

This has absolutely TRANSFORMED my parenting life! I haven’t stopped raving on about this book. I grew up in a violent home and watched my father parent his children and along the way I adopted that very nature. I have three girls & my middle child had a bad temper.. It says in the book angry parenting produce angry kids and that is very true. I got so desperate and asked the Holy Spirit to hold my hand and guide me along my journey to freedom from angry parenting. This book taught me how to biblically respond to every one of my triggers. Within the first week I saw fruit. My middle child and I have grown so close I’m getting teary just thinking about the restoration that’s taken place within the past couple months. I have not screamed my house down in a long long time. I have seen a massive change in My middle child’s behaviour. Her nursery teachers are also seeing a significant change. The change she is seeing me has impacted her greatly 😭 Before I could change my daughter God had to first change me! This is a hidden gem. Please. If you’re desperate & want to become that godly parent your child deserves. If you lack self control and need practical steps. Just order the book. It is LIFE CHANGING 🔥 If you’re yelling at your kids too often, grab the book. If you lack self control, grab the book. If you’ve had enough of having fits of rage, gf... Order your book. This is an amazing book I can’t wait for you to experience it for yourself.... Especially for your offspring XO
