Synopsis

Are you tired of feeling overwhelmed by constant power struggles, tantrums, and the heartache of wondering how to discipline your children without compromising your Christian values?

Many Christian parents face the daily challenge of balancing unconditional love with the need for firm, effective discipline. When every misbehavior leaves you scrambling for a quick fix that only deepens your frustration, it's hard to know where to turn.

In Grace Based Discipline, bestselling parenting coach Karis Kimmel Murray dives deep into the real issues Christian parents face.

Drawing on the timeless truth of Hebrews 12:6—“The Lord disciplines the one he loves”—Karis offers a practical, faith-rooted roadmap to restore calm and bring order into your home, even when your child’s behavior pushes you to your limits.

Inside, you'll find guidance on:

• Staying Calm Under Pressure: Learn how to maintain your composure when your child’s defiance or tantrums leave you feeling overwhelmed.
• Customizing Discipline: Discover tailored strategies that honor your child’s unique personality and needs while aligning with God’s priorities.
• Setting Biblical Boundaries: Replace fleeting, self-made rules with a family code of conduct grounded in Scripture and divine wisdom.
• Implementing Lasting Consequences: Adopt effective, loving consequences that foster genuine growth and respect.

Plus, the book includes two hands-on projects to bring these strategies to life:

• Kids Flag Page™: Understand your child’s God-given traits so you can adapt your approach to fit their unique "flag" or personality.
• DIY Rulebook™: Collaborate with your family to create a clear, customized set of rules that reflect your values and culture.

Grace Based Discipline isn’t about perfection—it’s about embracing a balanced, grace-filled approach to parenting that transforms chaos into opportunities for growth and deeper connection.

Start today, and turn everyday discipline challenges into stepping stones for a thriving, peaceful family life.
