The Alethia International Publications The Truth About ADHD Paperback

Controversy and misunderstanding swirl around the topic of ADHD. Parents search for answers, while doctors, teachers and therapists offer constantly changing theories. In an effort to be compassionate, secular theories propose that some children are not responsible for their actions; however, such assertions actually undermine hope for permanent change and replace it with faith in medication. In his book The Truth about ADHD: Genuine Hope and Biblical Answers, Daniel Berger examines the subjective and therefore unreliable support for ADHD theory and diagnoses using the leading secular theorists to state the facts. Furthermore he shows that a biblical approach sees all children, except for the mentally handicapped and those with impairment to their sensory organs, as not only able, but also responsible to pay attention and exhibit wisdom and self-control. This book will challenge the reader to reconsider common beliefs about child behavior and about what constitutes true parental love and purposeful parenting. Though it does offer practical instructions for dealing with bad behavior, the book looks beyond correcting behavior and discusses both the necessary philosophical presuppositions about behavior and the necessity of captivating the heart. Sometimes the truth is painful, yet in the telling of it there is real mercy and the starting point for healing and hope. This book unflinchingly lays out the facts to bring a message that is straightforward, compassionate and inspiring. The wisdom offered in this book has been used for centuries to lovingly address the same mindsets, behaviors, and emotions that secularists refer to as ADHD.
