Tying Their Shoes: A Christ-Centered Approach to Preparing for Parenting

Through a gospel-centered approach to parenting, Tying Their Shoes by Rob and Stephanie Green, lays the foundation for expecting parents to welcome a new addition into their home in light of the gospel. First-time soon-to-be parents and parents expecting an additional child will find Christ-centered hope, practical advice, and encouragement toward parental unity in this invaluable resource. Authors Rob and Stephanie Green know a baby brings many wonderful changes for both biological and adoptive parents. While other parenting resources exist to help expectant parents prepare for what’s around the corner, the Greens know the gospel is the best resource to ground couples in their relationships with the Lord, with each other, and with their children.

When pressure situations cause us to lose our biblical footing, Tying Their Shoes aims to guide expectant parents toward a dependent posture before the Lord. Through both a mother’s and father’s perspective, Rob and Stephanie Green dive into the goal of parenting, the blessings of parenting, and learning to discipline as well as physical intimacy in marriage, pregnancy and labor, and other practical realities of first-time parents.

Above all else, Tying Their Shoes equips soon-to-be parents to create a gospel-centered home and mindset, lovingly pointing couples to our Father who cares for his children and is with them every step of the way.
