Parenting Is More Than a Formula

Parents can get lost in the jungle of formulas that compete for our attention, promising success with our children if we just follow certain guidelines. . . .


How do we navigate all the options?


Jim Newheiser teaches us how to discern the value of parenting methods and critique them against God’s Word. Formulas may fail, but be encouraged: the gospel surpasses any formula. 


“Jim Newheiser has given us a little gem of parenting wisdom and grace in this booklet! Don’t be fooled by the size, because the content is rich and radical. Jim cuts through all the fog and hype of so much of the Christian parenting materials and . . . brings clarity to what we as parents can and should do.”
