Gospel Centered Family by Tim Chester

Numerous books set out to help Christian parents in the challenging mission of raising their children well--so what's different about this one? Well, the answer's in the title! It's not about how the gospel fits into Christian family life, but how family life should fit into the gospel--God's greatest purpose for this universe, achieved in Christ.

Many books aim to raise up competent, balanced parents and well-trained, well-rounded children. But Tim Chester and Ed Moll focus on families growing God-knowing, Christ-confessing, grace-receiving, servant-hearted, mission-minded believers--adults and children together.

Christian families should be about...

- not just making good citizens but also church planters, missionaries, reformers, servants and evangelists;

- not just learning about God but also showing him to others;

- not just controlling behavior but also changing the heart;

- not just parents and children, but being an integral part of the wider church family.

In twelve concise chapters, Gospel-Centered Family takes us through the major Bible principles for family life, challenging us to give up our 'respectable' middle-class idols, and to become the distinctively different people that God, through his gospel, calls us to be.
