All of us want to raise good kids. And we want
to be good parents. But what exactly do we mean by “good?” And is
“being good” really the point?
Mother-daughter team Elyse Fitzpatrick and Jessica Thompson
contend that every way we try to make our kids “good” is simply an
extension of Old Testament Law—a set of standards that is not only
unable to save our children, but also powerless to change them.
No, rules are not the answer. What they need is GRACE.
We must tell our kids of the grace-giving God who freely adopts
rebels and transforms them into loving sons and daughters. If this
is not the message your children hear, if you are just telling them
to “be good,” then the gospel needs to transform your parenting
too.
Give Them Grace is a revolutionary perspective on
parenting that shows us how to receive the gospel afresh and give
grace in abundance, helping our children know the dazzling love of
Jesus and respond with heartfelt obedience.
