Mike and Melissa would be the first to tell you that they are not perfect parents, and that's what makes this book so great. It's about flawed (though very good) parents pointing flawed children to a perfect gospel. Melissa shows you that when you are at the end of your parenting rope, that's when God's promises of grace abound all the more. You, after all, are not writing your kids' story, God is. And that's good news for us all. Having had the chance to pastor two of their kids during their college years, I can commend not only their teaching on parenting, but testify to the fruit. This book is practical and deeply convicting. Our battle against our kids' idols begins in our own hearts! What a gift to the church, and it will be to you also.
Parenting with Hope is a much-needed infusion of gospel-drenched confidence for parents with teenagers.
As a mother on the cusp of raising teens in the coming years, I cherish Melissa's timeless wisdom she generously shares in Parenting with Hope. Melissa's words are wrought with deep conviction that God's Word is an unshakable foundation for our lives and our parenting. I'll be returning to this book often for encouragement and practical advice on how to raise my children with my hope fixed on Jesus.
