Parents in our post-modern world tend to be committed to but anxious about their child-rearing responsibilities. They have tried countless parenting books on the market telling moms and dads what to do and how to do it. Many of these are rigid, fear-based books that leave a large number of parents feeling directionless. Now, there is a grace-based solution from Dr. Tim Kimmel, founder of Family Matters ministries.
Grace-Based Parenting is a refreshing new book divided into two parts: the needs we are trying to meet in our children and the delivery system for how we meet them. Kimmel recommends creating a grace-based home environment that allows children to meet their full potential, to parent children in the same way God parents us. He presents a child's true needs -according to Scripture - and provides parents a realistic, do-able way to meet them.
The result: spiritually strong children who grow up with a sense of calm and a heart full of purpose and confidence.

First of all, I will say that I have enjoyed this book and it has definitely had an impact on my parenting. I would recommend it and I think there are many, many good points in the book.
However, there were a couple of examples of "bad parenting" he used that really struck a sour note with me and I have continued to think about them, so I think I need to vent here a little. I will only address one of the examples that bothered me, since most people probably do not have the same issues with them that I do. For me personally, I think they are inappropriate examples that illustrate a lack of information and understanding/appreciation for God's design, particularly when it comes to motherhood.
The big one for me is that he mentions a mother who decided to deliver a baby in the breech position rather than get a c-section. His explanation was that she did not want to have a c-section scar and that the baby had (repairable) trouble with his hip sockets because of being delivered in that position. The underlying implication was that if she had made a "grace-based" parenting decision, she would have decided to get that c-section.
I understand that Dr. Kimmel was trying to use this situation as an example of a mother putting her own selfish and shallow desires above the good of her baby. But I also know that Dr. Kimmel's wife had 4 c-sections, so he has not had the experience of watching how hard a woman has to work to push out a baby, and therefore I don't think he understands exactly what it means that this woman pushed out a breech baby successfully. I don't think Dr. Kimmel understands that getting a c-section is a HUGE risk in and of itself. More women and babies die from c-section complications than they do from breech deliveries.
