Give Them Grace, Leading Your Kids to Joy and Freedom through Gospel-Centered Parenting

Our purpose in parenting is not merely to raise responsible adults who will be kind people, loving friends, and good citizens. While these are honorable goals, when we focus entirely on fixing our kids' behavior we can miss the most important role a parent has: to show them the love and grace of Christ. This fully revised edition of Give Them Grace, which includes two new chapters, gives you the gospel foundation to parent from a place of joy, freedom, and peace. This isn't a "how-to" manual; it's a call to remember, speak, and rest in the gospel as you model Jesus to your children.

"So many Christian parents fall into the trap of asking the law to do in the hearts of their children what only grace can accomplish. Armed with threats, manipulation, and guilt, they attempt to create change that only the cross of Jesus Christ makes possible. It is so encouraging to read a parenting book that points parents to the grace of the cross and shows them how to be instruments of that grace in the lives of their children." Paul David Tripp, author of New Morning Mercies
