the tagline of the book is “How to parent your child like God parents you,” and that’s really a better description of the book than the actual title. i LOVE this book and its insight into Biblical parenting. we all know there’s no great examples of parents in the Bible, but Lucas argues that this is because only God should be our example here. then he goes on to identify different methods God uses with His people that are actually paradoxes. for example, God both holds us accountable for sin and yet also wipes the slate clean. (you can find the table of contents at CBD.) This book is not light reading, but i would highly recommend this to anyone looking for material for developing a parenting class at their church.
