Grace-Based Parenting

Parents in our post-modern world tend to be committed to but anxious about their child-rearing responsibilities. They've tried the countless parenting books on the market, but many of these are strident, fear-based books that loving parents instinctively reject, while still searching for direction.

Now Dr. Tim Kimmel, founder of Family Matters ministries, offers a refreshing new look at parenting. Rejecting rigid rules and checklists that don't work, Dr. Kimmel recommends a parenting style that mirrors God's love, reflects His forgiveness, and displaces fear as a motivator for behavior. As we embrace the grace God offers, we begin to give it-creating a solid foundation for growing morally strong and spiritually motivated children.

Releasing in an affordable trade paper edition, this revolutionary book presents a whole new way to nurture a healthy family.

Good in general, but a little disappointing at the end

Overall I felt this was a great book. The author made some great points about Christian parenting and tied it into key biblical passages. He was very general, though. If you're new to grace-based parenting, and don't have any role models to turn to, you might be left asking what's next? How...

Changing the way you think!

This was a refreshing look (though, really not a new concept) at Biblical Parenting. I'm aware that there a mounds of books out there that deal with specific behavior issues and how best to quash them. What was wonderful about this book is the look at embracing the Grace that our Lord has shown...

My kids needed me to read this book

I highly recommend this book! One important way this book helped me was by showing me the alternatives to grace-based parenting. In reading these it made me realize just how ungracious I so often am towards my kids. In the heat of the moment I have a bad tendency to be fear, shame or...

Helpful even when you are parenting young adults.

Having grown weary reading about all we have done wrong (parenting), I was hesitant to read another parenting book. This book, however, was a breath of fresh air as I was reminded again of God's grace in 'parenting' me (even now). I hope that I will be able to extend His grace while continuing to...

Seeing the big picture

I loved this book- a refreshing and biblical way to approach parenting. I really appreciate the way Tim Kimmel points out all the ways God handles us with infinite grace as our heavenly Father and ways to reflect that to our children as well. Highly recommended.

Grace-Based Parenting

I found this book very helpful to me in raising children to love the God who cares for them unconditionally. This book proposes an approach to parenting that is loving in the same way God loves us--with grace. I highly recommend it.

Marvelous!

In preparation for the arrival of my first child in 1998, I read many Evangelical parenting books. These books sought to encourage new moms like me with moving discussions of the importance of our role. These books also provided practical discipline strategies. But, as a first-time mom, I...

This book is excellent. It is the how-to book on raising your kids as Christians. It is the detail book with his companion book, How to raise kids for true greatness being the big picture. I recommend them both.
