Graceful parenting. That’s not a description but rather an aspiration and a need.

Authors Erin Strybis and Kim Knowle-Zeller  talk with Erin Robinson Hall and Eileen Campbell-Reed about their new book. The Beauty of Motherhood: Grace-filled Devotions for the Early Years, written especially for progressive Christian parents. We want share the first part of our conversation.

Erin Strybis says when she was a new mom, the devotional books she picked up about parenting often made her feel like she wasn’t living up to some imagined standard of Christian parenthood. She wanted a new kind of book. One that emphasized God’s grace as it wove throughout her parenting, one that helped her notice where God showed up. A book that highlighted beauty in the ordinary.

Have a listen to why this book is for parents whose theology shows them a God of grace and compassion, rather than judgment and punishment.
