Parenting
What is your calling as a parent? In this life-giving book, Paul Tripp offers parents much more than a to-do list. Instead, he presents us with a big-picture view of God’s plan for us as parents.

Rather, we need the rescuing grace of God—grace that has the power to shape how we view everything we do as parents.
