When Parenting Isn't Perfect, Paperback

Perfection is the enemy of parenting.

It’s admirable for parents to be the very best moms and dads
they can be for their children. But sometimes in so doing,
they leave grace behind—both for themselves and their children.
We can become Pharisaical parents.
But God doesn’t want us, and our kids don’t need us, to be perfect.
As parents, we’re called to simply do our best.
And when we fail—which we will—we’re called to try again tomorrow.

Though he’s the President of Focus on the Family,
Jim does not promise that his book will be a catalyst for a perfect family.
But it can help point the way toward a good family
- one that feels safe and warm, one filled with love and laughter.
This book will encourage mothers and fathers to embrace the messiness of parenthood and show grace to their own less-than-ideal children.
Daly will lead both moms and dads to a better understanding of
what being a good family is all about.
