Parenting has always been a tough proposition. From the very first generation--Adam and Eve--and their first two sons, Cain and Abel, human existence has been marked by rebellion sin, and murder. Not exactly a great start.
All of history provides us with ample evidence that parenting is a challenge. But few of us recognize the full difficulties of parenting until we are in the midst of the struggle ourselves. And then the usual response is to conclude that there must be something wrong with "me". Usually, this toxic combination of shame and pride leads the parent to either deny there is a problem, deny all responsibility--or both.
Parenting by Grace & Truth looks at the challenge of parenting from a fresh new perspective. As the author notes, the book is not written by an expert, but a survivor. It is his firm conviction that the first place we need to look for answers is God's Word, the Bible; but we need to read many of its teachings with a renewed lens: The lens of Grace! You will find this book both refreshing and challenging.
Unlike many parenting books that reflect the values and views of contemporary society, placing greater emphasis upon behavioral techniques that manipulated and controlled behavior, Parenting by Grace & Truth focuses upon biblical truths that invite God's Spirit of Grace as a means of building godly character in both child and parent.
