Parenting: 14 Gospel Principles That Can Radically Change Your Family

Parenting can quickly become about managing behaviour, enforcing rules and trying to raise “good kids.” But what if biblical parenting begins somewhere deeper?

In Parenting: 14 Gospel Principles That Can Radically Change Your Family, bestselling Christian author Paul David Tripp offers a grace-filled, gospel-centred approach to raising children. Rather than giving parents another formula or list of techniques, Tripp helps mums and dads see parenting through the lens of the gospel, recognising that God is at work not only in the lives of our children, but in us as parents too.

Built around 14 biblical principles for Christian parenting, this trusted resource explores how grace, identity, authority, character and the transforming work of Jesus shape everyday family life. It is practical and challenging, while continually pointing parents back to their dependence on God rather than their own ability to get everything right.

This updated edition also includes study questions for every chapter, making it a great choice for personal reflection, couples, Christian parenting groups, church small groups and Bible studies.

Why we love it:

• A deeply biblical and gospel-centred approach to parenting

If you’re looking for a parenting book that goes deeper than tips and techniques, Parenting by Paul David Tripp offers a refreshing reminder that raising children isn’t ultimately about following the perfect formula. It’s about allowing the grace of Jesus to transform our own hearts and shape the way we lead, love and disciple our families.
