Parenting with Words of Grace

Building Relationships with Your Children One Conversation at a Time

About this book

How you speak to your kids  today will impact your relationship with them  tomorrow.

As a parent, your words are powerful.  What you say and  how you say it has the potential to either invite your children into deeper relationship with you or push them away. What's more, in a very real sense, your words represent—or misrepresent—God's words to  his children— meaning they have the power to shape how your children view their heavenly Father.

Offering practical guidance for grace-filled communication in the midst of the craziness of everyday life, this accessible guide will help you speak in ways that reflect the grace God has shown to you in the gospel.
