Grace Across Generations: Gospel Truths for Asian-American Parenting

Grace Across Generations explores the unique cultural dimensions of parenting from an Asian American perspective, offering encouragement and actionable support for passing down a durable, gospel-centered faith.

Asian American Christian parents navigate a delicate balance of honoring cultural heritage while holding firmly to biblical principles. Most Christian parenting resources do not account for the cultural tensions, heart idols, and generational dynamics that shape these families. Editor Steve S. Chang, along with a trusted group of ministry leaders and counselors, addresses this gap by applying gospel-centered theology within the lived realities of Asian American family life.

Grace Across Generations directly addresses these challenges while providing guidance for parents to help their children build their identity in Christ rather than in worldly success or cultural expectations. Rather than offering theory or cultural critique alone, the chapters combine biblical depth, pastoral wisdom, and practical application.

• Parents are encouraged to live out the gospel by confessing their own weaknesses, practicing forgiveness, and building a legacy of grace.
