This is not a parenting manual, whose primary focus is on technique; rather, it is a consideration of how a right understanding of the gospel has the greatest impact on effective Christian parenting.
The first chapters lay the table by establishing what parenting is and what it means to truly fear the Lord. We then look at the practical implications of the holiness and grace of God for our parenting. The author moves on to look at the examples our marriages set and then how the gospel builds men, affects discipline, shapes what we teach and, finally, motivates us to be loving and affectionate parents.
