Give Them Grace
$18.99What is our purpose in parenting? Is it to keep our kids alive and healthy? To raise responsible adults who will be kind people, loving friends, and good citizens? Or maybe we’d just be happy if our kids would clean up their rooms and stop antagonizing each other. While all of 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.
Give Them Grace gives you the gospel foundation to parent from a place of joy, freedom, and peace. This newly revised edition reflects what Elyse and Jessica have learned in their own parenting journeys in the last decade and includes two new chapters on parenting with grace in regard to your children’s mental health and gender.
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. Because this is the good news of parenting: it’s not about getting things right all the time–it’s about grace.
