Book Description

May 17 2005

Parents in our post-modern world tend to be committed to but anxious about their child-rearing responsibilities. Theyve tried the countless parenting books on the market, but many of these are strident, fear-based books that loving parents instinctively reject, while still searching for direction.

Now Dr. Tim Kimmel, founder of Family Matters ministries, offers a refreshing new look at parenting. Rejecting rigid rules and checklists that dont work, Dr. Kimmel recommends a parenting style that mirrors Gods love, reflects His forgiveness, and displaces fear as a motivator for behavior. As we embrace the grace God offers, we begin to give it-creating a solid foundation for growingmorally strong and spiritually motivated children.

Releasing in an affordable trade paper edition, this revolutionary bookpresents a whole new way to nurture a healthy family.

Product Description

From Publishers Weekly

Kimmel, author and founder of Family Matters ministries, likens many Christian parents' attempts at rearing children to putting together a puzzle without first studying the completed picture located on the box's cover. Kimmel states that families of faith tend toward extremes, either being overly permissive or overly legalistic. This is not a particularly new concept, but Kimmel pulls it off with interesting storytelling and sound biblical parallels. He says Christians frequently believe that the battle for a child's heart and soul is fought on the outside-with rigid rules and boundaries-when in fact just the opposite is true. He underscores the importance of communicating the unconditional love that Christ offers and affirming this timeless message of grace to one's family. Despite the numerous examples the author cites where parents fail, this text is overwhelmingly upbeat with hope and possibility: Parents who strive to live a life of faith characterized by daily trust in God will pass on this message of possibility and potential to their offspring. Kimmel asserts that this "radical" mode of parenting will meet the three essential needs in kids' lives: for security, significance and strength. He assures parents that these needs can be met with grace-laced love, purpose and hope. Kimmel's gentle heart is evident in every chapter, and his obvious passion will spur frustrated parents to keep at the task with new resolve and optimism.

Review

"Few writers are as well equipped as Tim Kimmel to teach parents how to fan flames of youthful self-determination and at the same time avoid self-destruction. His longtime parental and pastoral experience thrusts his readers into the hottest contemporary issues and offers a cool anxiety-damper. Grace Based Parenting tames the family inferno with biblical know-how--a spiritual fire extinguisher for young Christian families."
- Dr. Howard G. Hendricks
Bestselling author, speaker, & professor at Dallas Theological Seminary

"Aren't you glad you worship a God of grace? Tim Kimmel has done a great job of reminding us as parents that we are the model of God in our home and we need to be good grace--based parents."
- Dr. Kevin Leman,
Author of Making Children Mind Without Losing Yours --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars Everyone Needs Grace Oct 21 2010
By Adam TOP 500 REVIEWER
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Grace Based Parenting outlines Dr. Kimmel's foundational understanding of what parenting should be: i.e. we should parent how God parents us.
If you are looking for a book on parenting, then this is an excellent choice. Dr. Kimmel is easy to read and understand. He uses a lot of illustrations that we can all relate to; illustrations that speak to and encourage our ability to parent in a way that embodies grace. However, don't assume that grace simply allows everything. Let me quote from page 20: "Grace does not exclude obedience, respect, boundaries, or discipline, but it does determine the climate in which these important parts of parenting are carried out." Grace Based Parenting gives us a look at a well balanced approach to parenting.
