Are you committed but anxious about your child-rearing responsibilities? You have tried countless parenting books on the market telling you what to do and how to do it. Many of these are rigid, fear-based books that leave a large number of you feeling directionless. Now, there is a grace-based solution from Dr. Tim Kimmel, founder of Family Matters ministries. Grace-Based Parenting is a refreshing new book divided into two parts: the needs we are trying to meet in our children and the delivery system for how we meet them.
