Synopsis

What 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.

You see, I’ve never had one before, I haven’t made a whole lot of observations of 18-month-olds, and I don’t ever remember being one. So should you take my review of this par......more

Goodreads review by Mark on August 30, 2014

I laid aside my skepticism of books that have words like "dazzle" in their title for a while to read this book, of which I've heard some rave reviews. In essence, the first 90 pages (or so) are largely consumed with establishing a theological foundation. One's view of the book will be significantly c......more

Goodreads review by Kristen on January 25, 2012

Give Them Grace asks readers a very important question: how does believing the gospel change the way that you parent? The authors assert that if the way Christians parent is the same as a devout Muslim or Jew, there must be something wrong. I think this is a paradigm shift that is very important for......more

Goodreads review by Kacie on January 17, 2019

I got about 70% or more done with this book and I had to quit. I didn’t enjoy it. It seemed very drawn out and repetitive. I feel like much of it was impractical. It wasn’t a terrible book, but not one of my favorites, either......more
