Parents in our post-modern world tend to be committed to, but anxious about their child-rearing responsibilities.  They have tried countless parenting books on the market telling moms and dads what to do and how to do it.  Many of these are rigid, fear-based books that leave a large number of parents feeling directionless.  Now there is a grace based solution from Dr. Tim Kimmel, founder of Family Matters ministries.  Grace Based Parenting is a refreshing book divided into two parts: 

1- The needs we are trying to meet in our children. 

2- The delivery system for how we meet them.

Kimmel recommends creating a grace-based home environment that allows children to meet their full potential, to parent children in the same way God parents us.  He presents a child's true needs according to Scripture, and provides parents a realistic, doable way to meet them.  The result is spiritually strong children who grow up with a sense of calm and a heart full of purpose and confidence.
