Gospel-Based Parenting: A Biblical Study on Discipline and Discipling

by Angela Harders

As Christian parents, we strive to apply God's word in all areas of our lives, but what if we have been misinterpreting His word this entire time? In Gospel-Based Parenting, we will: (1) look deeply into our own hearts and honestly reflect on our practice as parents, (2) look deeply into the Word of God and examine our cultural biases and preconceived ideas that have impacted our interpretation of His Word, and (3) look deeply into the heart of God as our Heavenly Father and be transformed by the gift of grace that He has freely given to us through Jesus Christ. Each chapter includes a list of discussion and application questions that can be used with your spouse, your small group, or your church. May our lives and our parenting be transformed by the Gospel of God's amazing grace.

This is the parenting book I’ve been searching for. So wonderfully done, scripture-based, and written with the Gospel at the center. I recommend this book to any Christian parents raising children!!

I highly recommend this book as a simple but thorough book on what really is Biblical discipline in light of the Gospel message. How would Jesus raise children? Throwing out common misconceptions about the "rod" and other arguments with scriptural explanation, she makes the argument for gospel parenting... looking very similar to today's "peaceful parenting ".

I will recommend this book to every parent forever. I’ll start including a copy in baby shower gifts. It’s phenomenal, and has been such a refreshing encouragement to my soul on this “gentle parenting” journey with my sweet children. Please read this book if you have children or ever plan to care for any children.

We are children of God, and we should always strive to do everything the way He does, including and maybe especially our parenting! Our children look to us as their first glimpse of who God is. And this book beautifully explains that. Wonderful read.

I will say there were quite a few typos in this book. But easy to overlook for a wonderful message :)

Twists scripture to fit her personal feelings.
