Good News for Parents

The absolute last thing that most parents need is more pressure. That’s why I’m so glad that Adam Griffin wrote something different—a book full of grace and relief for parents. I trust his voice to encourage families by helping them see how much their faith can bless them and their God can unburden them.

Good News for Parents offers wise remedies for the inevitable fears parents face. This book is not a list of how-tos but a biblical vision of how God provides the guidance we need. Through a careful explanation of the fruit of the Spirit, enriched with poems and prayers, Adam Griffin helps us relax and trust Christ with the results of our parenting. His message is clear: We are not the center of it all—Jesus is. And that is truly good news for every parent!

There is no shortage of good advice for parents, and Adam Griffin has offered some of the best out there. But in this book we don’t just get something helpful; we receive something better: good news for parents. Good news for faithful parents, good news for failing parents, good news for fatigued parents—good news for us all.

There is real grace on every page of this book. If you, like me, are a parent who veers between feeling proud, complacent, overwhelmed, and crushed, this realistic yet hope-filled book will root you in the goodness of Jesus and show you how his Spirit really does enable you to be the parent you’d like to be. Chapter by chapter, Griffin showed me how to be a better dad, but even more than that, he showed me how to enjoy having a perfect Father.

Good News for Parents offers relief to parents struggling with anxiety and shame by ushering them into the rest the gospel provides. Adam Griffin helps moms and dads apply the gospel to various parenting challenges, empowering readers to parent as though they really have been saved by grace. This book is a breath of fresh air!
