The Struggles of Parenthood and the Hope of the Gospel 

Be firm with your kids, but not scary. Be friendly, yet maintain authority. Work hard, but prioritize time at home. Parents are faced with an overwhelming mix of advice. Self-help books, blog posts, and endless tips often leave parents feeling more stressed, discouraged, and fearful. 

In Good News for Parents, Adam Griffin offers a refreshing alternative to typical parenting advice. This book reveals how walking by the Spirit can free parents from the anxieties, stress, and self-doubt of parenting. Drawing wisdom from Galatians 5, Griffin demonstrates how each fruit of the Spirit provides the lasting relief they so desperately need. Ultimately, readers will feel more prepared to approach parenting with peace, confidence, and strength, trusting that Jesus is renewing both them and their children day by day. 

  • Provides Relief for Discouraged Parents: Unlike typical self-help books, Good News for Parents reveals the source of lasting freedom found in the ​​person of Jesus Christ 
  • Biblical: Shows how wisdom from Galatians 5 works to relieve feelings of shame, stress, anxiety, exhaustion, and more
  • Includes Study Questions: Perfect for individual study or group discussion
