Publisher's Summary

In the midst of folding laundry, coordinating carpool schedules, and breaking up fights, many parents get lost. Feeling pressure to do everything "right" and raise up "good" children, it's easy to lose sight of our ultimate purpose as parents in the quest for practical tips and guaranteed formulas.

In this life-giving book, Paul Tripp offers parents much more than a to-do list. Instead, he presents us with a big-picture view of God's plan for us as parents. Outlining 14 foundational principles centered on the gospel, he shows that we need more than the latest parenting strategy or list of techniques. Rather, we need the rescuing grace of God - grace that has the power to shape how we view everything we do as parents.

Freed from the burden of trying to manufacture life-change in our children's hearts, we can embrace a grand perspective of parenting overflowing with vision, purpose, and joy.

I really want to like this...

I was really enjoying the content; however, the narrator just lulls me to sleep. I'll have to check out the physical copy to get through the rest.

Overrated and impractical

I am quite shocked that this book had 5 stars. The main idea is good and pretty foundational christianity, which is that children are little sinners who are in need of salvation; therefore, applying the law is insufficient for genuine transformation. He then goes on to repeat this under different headings in each chapter. I've read up to the beginning of chapter 9 looking for practical solutions, and I feel like I'm being run around in circles. The book is very repetitive and reads more like "what not to do." I'm like, ok, so what then...no answers.

Paradigm Shifter

This book has helped rewire my bad thinking, my bad habits, helped me let go of family baggage, and even illuminated my wrong intentions when it comes to parenting. So grateful for this book.

excellent and insitefull

Dr. Tripp has an amazing way of bringing the gospel into all aspects of life. The worldview transformation that can be brought about by understanding the concepts in this book is truly stunning. It all boils down to the power of the gospel to shape you into the image of Jesus.

not for me

The reading is a bit monotonous, the litterary style is not my favorite and I found it tedious. Still, it contains good advice for christian parenting.
