I found a book which, although not The Bible, does bring some of its teachings into the modern world. Different materials have become available but the lessons Christians are instructed
.—
.by God
.—
.to teach and the methods He commands remain the same.

To Train Up a Child, first published in 1994, began as a letter to a homeschool mother in answer to her question, How did you train your children to be so happy and obedient? Mike did not consider himself to be an author, nor did Debi possess the means or the knowledge to publish a book. They realized that it was a big subject that could not be put into a few pages, so they wrote a book. Friends and neighbors were consulted, gleaning their views and methods of child training. They analyzed how they were influenced by the traditions they inherited from their parents, and they looked at the methods that were unique to their family. Friends and members of their church periodically read and critiqued the manuscript as it grew to book size. Twenty one years later, To Train Up a Child has sold over 1.2 million copies in twelve languages. TTUAC has been on Amazon s best-seller list several times. This new book has added chapters and several updates. Mike and Debi have received tens of thousands of letters of gratitude and been approached by thousands of young people thanking them for their influence in the way they were raised their parents having implemented the principles expressed in TTUAC. Mike and Debi are humbled to have played a part in so many young people's lives. There has been no editing to modify their stance on spanking. To the contrary, due to the media attacks, they have expanded and strengthened their arguments for traditional, biblical child training. There are now more than a million TTUAC books circulating in the United States that will continue to stand for traditional, biblical parenting.

People who reject The Bible are not Christians. II Peter 1:20-21
They are blaspheming against The Holy Ghost. Matthew 12:31
Music is an important part of praise Psalm 150:3-5 and it's not my place to suggest of course but perhaps if you were to buy some cymbals and leave them by your wretched daughter's door your Husband Matthew 23:9 would recall that God Himself relishes the cymbal? Two sizes are mentioned in the psalm.
Another modern learning aid is digital recording. I've taken the liberty of selecting a lovely tune which could be played in conjunction with a Bible passage using an audio link.
Example follows, click and start audio then straight away click the y/t:
It should be possible for your Husband to put these through headphones with the voice and the music on different sides in which case the music finishes at an appropriate point. There are people who claim The Bible is a disgusting book using the most reprehensible methods to manipulate acceptance of ideas any normal person would recoil from. Recoil in disgust, Mrs Etheldreda. Could anything be farther from The Truth? Methods of discipline not suggested by God BUT COMMANDED continue from The Old Testament
.—
.a Scripture endorsed by Jesus
.—
.into The New Testament and in Hebrews it is even spelled out WHY.
I trust that this is helpful for you and for your daughter and for anyone else who's reading perhaps uncertain about Jesus in the light of "modern sensibilities" and that the words of The Bible will strengthen them in their journey with Christ.
PSALM 119 .KJV . look up .. PSALM 150 .. II Timothy 3 reference for doubters
103 How sweet are thy words unto my taste! yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth!
104 Through thy precepts I get understanding: therefore I hate every false way.
105 Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.
106 I have sworn, and I will perform it, that I will keep thy righteous judgments.
