Parenting according to the promises of God: How to raise your children under the covenant of grace (French Edition)
By
( Joel R. Beeke,

Edition La Rochelle
Many parents today are searching for the “secret” to successful parenting. In Parenting According to God’s Promises: Raising Children in the Covenant of Grace, Joel R. Beeke reveals a hard-to-hear truth: There is no secret. When it comes to giving children what they need most—renewed hearts that trust Christ for the forgiveness of their sins—parents are powerless. When children come to the Lord, it is only by God’s grace.
While it is true that parents are powerless to save their children, they can still have hope, because God has promised to provide all the needs of those who are His and to bless them and their families. By relying on these great promises, parents can raise their children “in the discipline and admonition of the Lord,” with the confidence that He will bring them to faith.
This book is not just a parenting manual. It puts the responsibilities of parenting into perspective by leading mothers and fathers to rely less on their abilities and more on the God who forms all children from the womb.
