It is important to be faithful to the tasks that God gives each of us, and the eternal value of parenting our children cannot be underestimated. I often forget that my role as father is one of the most important things in this life. Principle 1: Calling - Nothing is more important in your life than being one of God’s tools to form a human soul. Let me review briefly each principle and give you my personal thoughts and application. He then reviews relevant Bible verses and passages that apply. He begins most chapters with a parenting dilemma where there is opportunity to apply each principle. He summarizes each principle in one or two sentences. Tripp devotes each of his 14 chapters to a specific gospel principle. But like Give Them Grace by Elyse Fitzpatrick and Jessica Thompson, Tripp’s book will encourage you to apply the Christian gospel to parenting.
Having finished the book, I don’t feel this book is a must–purchase. Since I have enjoyed many of his other books, I decided to read this latest offering.
Recently, Paul Tripp added his second contribution to this genre, entitled Parenting. On Amazon, you can find dozens of parenting books published within the last 10 years. Paul Tripp organizes 14 principles of the gospel for Christian parents to apply that can radically change their family.
