Summary

Today's leading Christian parenting models are wrong -- they don't work. What families need is a great example, not more heavy-handed methods. In Grace-Based Parenting, Dr. Kimmel offers a revolutionary concept that focuses on the model and guidance provided by God the Father -- the ultimate child-and-family expert. Grace-Based Parenting is not another manual full of impossible standards; rather it is a new map for learning to see ourselves and our children through God's limitless tenderness -- to raise our kids the way God raises us. This thoughtful, profound, and compassionate book presents a truly liberating way to nurture a healthy family. As we embrace the grace He offers, we begin to give it -- creating a sound foundation for growing morally strong and spiritually motivated children.
