This book doesn't offer any quick fixes or strategies, but a big picture of what parenting should look like. After talking through the differences in several different areas, the author then goes through fourteen chapters, areas in which we are to exhibit an ambassador attitude calling, grace, law, inability, identity, process, lost, authority, foolishness, character, false gods, control, rest, and mercy. But as ambassadors, we parent according to the will and plan of God. The introduction of this book is titled "Ambassadors." Do you parent with an ownership or an ambassador attitude? As owners, we are driven by what we want for our children and what we want them to be. In many books you might skip the introduction and go straight to chapter one, but please don't do that in this book. His goal is to give parents a "big gospel parenting worldview." Paul Tripp has written this book to help parents refocus and reorient, and find the joy in parenting.
Parenting is a calling, and children are a blessing, so we want to perform the task in the wisest way possible but sometimes we get caught up in the daily and forget our real purpose. Who among us couldn't use a little help as we try to parent our children according to God's Word.
