Three things you will actually use

  1. You are an instrument, not the author of change.
  2. Grace, not control, changes hearts.
  3. Your anger reveals your idols.

Do this first

Read the chapter on authority and ask whose glory your discipline serves.

Our verdict

Reorienting for Christian parents.
