We want to get it right, so our children will be all right. But we live in a broken world where things don't always (or ever?) go as planned. Children make mistakes, and, if they are honest, parents know they make mistakes too. So it's easy for parents to live in fear, regret, confusion, and sometimes hopelessness about parenting and the children they love. Is there a better way?

How can parents live by faith as they parent their children?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThese are questions that are best answered in community. This ten-session small group resource will help parents apply the gospel of Jesus Christ to their families. Each lesson looks at parenting through the lens of God's grace for sinners (parents and children) and gives parents a gospel center to their parenting. Parents will learn how to live out the biblical principles of faith, repentance, and faithfulness to their calling as parents with their children. Each lesson is self-contained, featuring clear teaching from Scripture, and requires no extra work outside of the group setting. The self-explanatory Leader's Guide at the back of the book helps small group leaders with discussion questions and background material that clearly explain and apply the gospel truths from each lesson.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"Rose Marie Miller, Deborah Harrell, and Jack Klumpenhower","offers":[{"title":"Book","offer_id":49951448236261,"sku":"9781942572145","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"eBook","offer_id":49951448269029,"sku":"9781942572152","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0807\/5617\/9173\/files\/Gospel-Centered-Parent-Frontcover__61408.1753471457.1280.1280.jpg?v=1783343715"},{"product_id":"whats-up-elementary-learning-about-jesus-and-yourself","title":"What's Up?
