In the morning, over coffee, you’re committed to honoring God and your children above yourself. He is the only one capable of bringing true change to any person- child or adult.Could anyone else out there use a parenting shot in the arm? If you’re anything like me you find yourself drifting away from the parenting principles you hold dear several times a day. As parents we need to address our children’s hearts and point them toward Jesus. If parents had the power to create permanent change in children then we’d have no need for Jesus. My biggest takeaway from Parenting: 14 Gospel Principles, is that I have no power to change my child.
Tripp gives parents vision, motivation, renewed strength and rest of heart through the words and concepts he presents in this book. It’s a book that will help you align your own heart to God’s purpose for you as a parent, so you can then guide your children’s hearts towards Jesus. This book is not a ‘how to parent’ book that will give you steps to follow in order to raise great kids. Or by the end of the day, the stress of parenting has whittled reactions down to anger and frustration. That is so true, but the thing is, as much as we think of parenting as a high treasure, sometimes the way we show that priority is misguided. Tripp says, ” Parenting is either a thing of the highest treasure to you, and that is demonstrated in your choices, words, and actions everyday, or it’s not.
But like many parents, it’s hard to get out of the bad parenting habits and cycles I’ve fallen into. In theory, I agree with Tripp’s big picture parenting concept. If you feel that way often, Paul Tripp’s new book, Parenting: 14 Gospel Principles That Can Radically Change Your Family will help change your perspective while improving your parenting.Īs I read the first few chapters of this book, I nodded my head and underlined line after line. I’m behind on chores, I’ve been a drill sergeant all day, and I’ve done little else than put out the most major fires all day long. How often as mothers do we feel overwhelmed, exhausted, and defeated? I know I climb into bed many nights feeling like a failure.
