About this audiobook
Discover a parenting style that nurtures a healthy family and displaces fear as a motivator for behavior. Learn how to meet your child's three driving inner needs for security, significance and strength with the invaluable gifts of love, purpose and hope.
Modern parents are stressed out and tired. They’ve tried countless parenting books on the market, many of which are harsh, fear-based books that loving parents instinctively reject. As Christians, we frequently believe that the battle for a child's heart and soul is fought on the outside with rigid rules and boundaries, when in fact the opposite is true.
Dr. Tim Kimmel, founder of Family Matters ministries, offers a timeless look at parenting. Rejecting rigidity and checklists that don't work, Dr. Kimmel recommends a parenting style that is the opposite, emphasizing the importance of communicating the unconditional love that Christ offers and affirming this timeless message of grace to one's family. In Grace-Based Parenting, you’ll learn:
- A parenting style that mirrors God's love, reflects His forgiveness, and displaces fear as a motivator
- Why fear-based parenting is a guaranteed method to set children up for failure
- How to provide a safe space for children to develop into functional adults with purpose, security, and inner strength
As we embrace the grace God offers, we begin to give it—creating a solid foundation for growing morally strong and spiritually motivated children. This revolutionary book presents a whole new way to nurture your family.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5A parenting book with a difference. Readers are urged to model their parenting style on God's own parenting of us. By building a secure love, significant purpose and strong hope we avoid legalism and prepare our children for adulthood in the best possible way. Grace based parenting allows our children to be different, to make mistakes and still be loved. Packed with examples of things done right as well as mistakes parents can make, it's a very practical book.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Fantastic book! As a mother of 3 small children it is important that I continue to operate in the realm of grace towards my children on a day to day basis. I cannot do it alone but with God's grace I can extend that grace to my children.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5The message of grace-based parenting was profound, challenging and inspiring.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5The book is great, the ideas valuable, worthwhile. But I was not happy to find out just at the end that it was an abridged version. There is no mention of this in the details / the cover.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This book has changed my ideas of effective parenting. I think it offers a great balance of grace and discipline. It is not so much about how to do/not to do things; it's more about a way of thinking.
