Parenting: 14 Gospel Principles That Can Radically Change Your Family (with Study Questions)

Description:

Paul David Tripp’s Bestselling Book on Parenting, Now with Study Questions

Sometimes parents wish there was a guaranteed formula for raising good kids―a certain list of rules to follow to ensure they’d have obedient children. But if moms and dads view their role through the lens of God’s grace, they will see that the gospel must first shape how they parent before they can effectively shape their children.

In the bestselling book Parenting, Paul David Tripp unfolds a more biblical perspective on parenting than merely adhering to a list of rules. He lays out 14 gospel-centered principles that will radically change the way parents think about what it means to raise up a child, informing everything they do as a parent. This edition includes a section of engaging study questions for every chapter, helping individuals and groups reflect on each topic in greater depth. 

  • Christ-Centered Advice for Families: Explains how the gospel should affect the way parents interact with their children at every age
  • Engaging Study Questions: Reflect on each chapter alone or as part of a small group
  • By Bestselling Author Paul David Tripp: Other books include New Morning MerciesReactivity, and Lead

Editorial Reviews

Review

“Paul Tripp constantly turns us back to the life-giving power of the gospel and God’s unfailing grace. Parenting our children is one of life’s greatest challenges, and Paul points us to the one thing that can make a difference―a genuine encounter with the living God.”
TobyMac, hip-hop recording artist; music producer; songwriter

“Simply put, I read everything that Paul Tripp writes. I can’t afford to miss one word.”
Ann Voskamp,New York Times bestselling author, The Broken Way and One Thousand Gifts

“This is the most meaningful book I have read all year. It is both theological and practical, a rare combination for a parenting book. For years, people have asked me to write a book on parenting. After reading this, I am convinced that I could never write one better than this. I’m so glad I read this, but I wish I could have read it twenty years ago. After reading Parenting, I was torn. Part of me wanted to sit, cry, and confess all of my failures as a parent. The other part wanted to scream with excitement for the tremendous insight I now have to be a better parent.”
Francis Chan, New York Times bestselling author, Crazy Love and Forgotten God

“I cannot recommend this book highly enough. It is simply outstanding. This is Tripp at his best: he shows us the big picture of life with Christ and gets down to the nitty-gritty specifics of walking by grace through faith. Tripp's manifesto is about more than simply our duty as parents―it's about our privilege of being ambassadors of Jesus Christ to our kids. Moms and dads from every culture will benefit from Tripp’s call for us to live in light of the grace and hope we have in Jesus.”
Gloria Furman, author, Labor with Hope and Missional Motherhood

“This book is so timely for me. My bride and I are raising four children aged five and under, and we need help! It's easy to find books with parenting tips on how to correct our children's behavior, but Paul Tripp’s book goes far beyond behavior; he takes the reader to the source of the problem―the heart. If we understand our children at a heart level and have a proper understanding of the gospel, then we can parent them as God intends. Paul Tripp has written a simple yet profound book. Parents, you need to read this now. You will surely be blessed.”
Webb Simpson, professional golfer; 2012 US Open Champion

“I am an imperfect parent. You probably are too. Buy this book and soak in it. This is not another ‘5 Steps to Becoming a Perfect Parent’―instead, Tripp wants us to see our relationship to God and to our children through a big-picture lens. My wife and I are always-go-never-stop parents of young children. If you know the feeling, this book will be both challenging and refreshing, and ultimately it will be a great blessing to your journey. Tripp has made me think in a fresh way about the extremely important and tremendously challenging task that is everyday parenting. To raise up a child is a great responsibility―let us take it up with reverence, joy, and a loving heart!”
Jacob Tamme, former NFL® tight end

5.0 out of 5 stars must read for Christian parents!!

G. · September 1, 2025

One of the best books to put every level of parenting into proper perspective. From the long nights of baby days, to teenage years, he shares practical ways to parent as ambassadors of Christ.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Read

K.M. · October 10, 2025

Great read! We’ve really enjoyed the applications of this book and continue to go back as we encounter new things with our child.

5.0 out of 5 stars Must have parenting book

S.N. · October 2, 2025

Excellent parenting book. I wish i had it when my kids were little! I still use the principles in it and buy it for my children.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hands down best parenting book I've ever read.

C.A. · August 14, 2019

By chapter two I had gotten my money's worth out of this book. Even if you never get past chapter two it's well worth every penny. The book is so full of grace for struggling parents, reminding us that if we all needed Jesus and His grace how much more so our children and that God didn't pick us to be parents to our children because we were capable or competent for the task but, like so many in the bible, in spite of the fact that we are not and that he is going to do a work through us while we learn to parent. My child is really struggling and I tried therapy to learn how to help her better but honestly, this book helped much more than the expensive therapist. When I'm at my wits end with my kids I read one page and am calmer and more prepared to be the parent they need me to be. I highly recommend this above an beyond any other parenting book I've read, which is quite a few.

5.0 out of 5 stars Number one parenting book

K. · May 15, 2021

I could spend a book writing about how good this book is! When it has accolades from someone like Francis Chan, I don’t know why you need my opinion. But here it is. I took so many pages of notes about ways this book revolutionizes the philosophy of parenting based on the Gospel. My son is an infant, and I praise the Lord that I discovered this book at the beginning of my parenting journey. The way I live out my faith IN RELATIONSHIP is how my children will understand faith! As daunting as the calling is to be an ambassador of our heavenly Father to our children is, Tripp gives us so many encouraging Scriptures that remind us that we are not alone and that we have the power through Christ to fulfill this calling. Also, it is such an encouragement to remember that my children are in His hands ultimately, not mine. I can be faithful, but I cannot sanctify them. That is a relief. Tripp did such a good job at helping me see my sanctification journey with God as my Father in a way that will give me grace and compassion and patience with my children, because I am no different from them. Also, parenting seems so much more important when you realize that your responsibility is to help your children see themselves and their behaviors in light of Jesus and his love and sacrifice, not to force them to be obedient - God is more concerned about who we are, than what we do. My child and I are working together against the enemy of sin in both of our lives; I am not my child’s enemy, nor is my child my enemy. I as a parent, and as a child of God, am forever changed by this book.One other comment that I have about it is that the book is about very large philosophies, and doesn’t have almost any practical examples of how to carry out these philosophies. It was best read in the context of a group of other Christian parents, so we could discuss how to live out of these philosophies as parents.I am an adoption specialist and I have read very many parenting books. This is the best one and the most important one.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good read

S.L. · May 30, 2024

Good read. A few parts of the book were enlightening (the comparison of what society deems as parental goals and subsequently what a lot of Christian parents follow vs God’s will for our children). The book is a good resource for the parent to be and current parents.

5.0 out of 5 stars What this book means by parents who work...

E.F. · April 19, 2019

I haven’t finished this book yet, but I really wanted to address something that I read in the reviews of this book. Someone commented that this book denigrates parents who work. Though I can’t speak for the author himself, I can try to explain what I believe he is saying.When he says that today, many parents are choosing to work rather than take care of their children, I don’t think he is talking about the ones that HAVE to work. There are many couples who need two incomes, and that’s totally ok. The Bible never says “one parent must stay home with the child.” What I believe he is referring to is the new cultural norm of women needing careers to feel validated and have a “real job.” I’m not saying that women can’t work. What I’m saying is that being a stay at home parent is a REAL job. A 24/7 never ending job. What I truly believe the author is saying is that parents should, if possible, raise their own children. Sometimes, it’s not. However, sometimes parents are on the hunt for having a big house, a successful career, all these material things instead of focusing on parenting. When in reality, they could scale back - live in a smaller home, drive an older car, etc. - and afford to have one parent stay home or maybe just work part time to raise their child.My goal in this post is not to make working moms feel bad. I can see how what the author wrote could be offensive - but I truly don’t think he meant it in that way. I do think it could be a wake up call to some who are working not for God’s glory but for excessive money, success, etc. But so far I do love this book. It has helped me to refocus my parenting on Him and especially His grace. Would definitely recommend.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very helpful parenting book

A.C. · August 30, 2025

This books makes one realise that the power pf parenting lies in our depedence of God. We are just tools on our redeemers hands to point our children to God. I recommend the book to every christian parent

It’s possible for a mom to be more worried about the stains on her couch than the soul of her son’

s. · September 16, 2023
