Sometimes parents long for a foolproof method to raise good children—a clear set of rules to guarantee obedience. Yet, when parents adopt a perspective shaped by God's grace, they understand that their parenting must first be influenced by the gospel before they can effectively shape their children.
In his acclaimed book 'Parenting', Paul David Tripp presents a more Biblical approach to parenting than mere rule-keeping. He introduces 14 principles centred on the gospel that will profoundly alter parents' understanding of nurturing a child, impacting every aspect of their parental journey. This edition also features thought-provoking study questions for each chapter, designed to help individuals and groups delve deeper into each topic.
