Tired of all the parenting books full of strategic checklists, how-to advice, and quick tips? If so, this book is for you. Instead of focusing on parenting techniques, it's about who God is, who we are in light of that, and how God's character gives form and shape to our parenting. Christina Fox wants you to explore the Scriptures with her and discover the goodness of the God who makes us His own. As God's beloved creatures, we bear His image—that is, we show others who He is as we glorify Him. Is anything more important to pass on to our children than this? In Like Our Father, you'll learn to parent in light of the timeless and profound truths that God:
• Is our adoptive Father
• Is consistent
• Provides boundaries
• Teaches and trains us
• Disciplines us
• Gives us what we need
• Responds patiently
• Loves us unconditionally
Though it's tempting to want a step-by-step instructional manual on how to raise kids, what you really need is a clearer, grander, bolder vision of your Heavenly Father. When you've got His character before your eyes, you'll live it out in front of your kids. And as they share in your magnified vision of God, they'll begin to live as the image-bearers that He made them to be.

"In a world full of prescriptive strategies that don't go the distance, Like Our Father offers an invitation to discover the 'why' of parenting instead of the 'how.' Understanding the multidimensional glory of God as Father shapes both parent and child toward the ultimate aim of parenting—being more conformed to His image." KAREN HODGE, Coordinator of Women's Ministries for the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA) and author of Transformed: Life-taker to Life-giver and Life-giving Leadership

Knowledgeable History; Uncharitable Theological Commentary
Format: Kindle
The author seems incredibly knowledgeable about the topic. I am learning a tremendous amount about the period bridging the Old and New Testament periods by reading this book. However, it is incredibly frustrating to me that the author compares modern day fellow-Christian cessationists with the unbelieving Sanhedrin whom Stephen excoriated in Acts chapter 7. "The insinuation is that the Holy Spirit, which had inspired the Torah, was the very same spirit who had been prophetically active down to the time of Jesus but whom the Jewish leaders were now railing against. One wonders what words Stephen would have for modern readers who perpetuate the notion of prophetic silence." At first this passage irritated me as an unnecessary and uncharitable jab. But I decided to write a review to let readers know to be prepared: if you do not have a Grudem-style view of ongoing prophecy, you should expect the author of this book to take cheap and uncharitable jabs, and to compare you to unbelieving Jews who rejected God's word. It actually colors my ability to take the author seriously, though I paid far too much for this book not to persevere through it. The author could have chosen to take an objective and charitable stance and simply report the facts. I'm surprised an editor didn't encourage the author to restrain his criticisms.
