I took the books that had been recommended here recently and created a couple Amazon lists that I added to our Resources section. The lists are –
These of course can be expanded as more people suggest resources, but I hope this can be a helpful start. Since this is a group blog that presents a variety of perspectives, these books represent that diversity. Some of them might present contradictory opinions on parenting and spiritual formation. That’s okay and I hope we can learn from the variety of perspectives out there.

Here are some of my life-savers and best of’s …
Your Child’s Growing Mind by Jane Healy
Caring For Your Baby and Young Child: Birth to Age 5 by the American Academy of Pediatricians (I loved this book because it presented such a broad range of anticipated behaviors for every stage and did not espouse a particular school of thought so I was free to parent my children as I saw fit.)
Parenting With Love and Logic by Foster Cline (note, I have only read Parenting Teens With Love and Logic, so I can’t vouch for the younger years, but I’ve appreciated their approach)

Here’s a suggestion for the Children’s book section:
The Jesus Storybook Bible: Every Story Whispers His Name
