Parenting is a long-term journey, but most of us are simply trying to make it through each day. Often, we look for quick-fix techniques, but the Bible offers something better. It points us to the Savior who graciously claims His own. Jesus is the Savior who had a long-term vision for His disciples that led Him to patiently engage with, delight in, shape, and pray for them. More than training tips, parents need to see Jesus and a new way to think about parenting in Him. A Thousand Little Moments will free us from the urgency of the moment by offering a long-term, grace-shaped philosophy of parenting.

Reviews for A Thousand Little Moments: Grace-Shaped Parenting

"James Dickson draws upon the rich, diverse history of his relationship with his own children and pursuit of God's wisdom to create a book both practically helpful and entertaining. -Robert Whitlow, best-selling author of Relative Justice ""As parents, we can often walk around with a great deal of guilt for a variety of reasons. A Thousand Little Moments is one of those books that guards the reader from that. This is due to James's pastoral heart and the biblical wisdom he passes along. Reading this book will remind you that you're not alone in your struggles as a parent. You will also be reminded of the faithfulness of our own Father in the midst of our struggles."" -John Perritt, Director of Resources for Reformed Youth Ministries, author, host of The Local Youth Worker podcast, father of five Dickson's pastor's heart shines through on every page as he becomes both coach and fellow traveling companion in the high privilege, we call being a parent. -Rev. Dr. Thomas C. Gibbs, president, Covenant Theological Seminary ""A Thousand Little Moments overflows with refreshing life-won prudence. This practical, loving approach to parenting offers a fresh look at apologetics combined with biblical principles about raising children. I highly recommend it to anyone interested in laughing aloud, applying scripture to their circumstances, and learning how to be a better person while parenting. Sharing insightful, humorous, and poignant stories from his life and the lives of other relatives, Dickson imparts wise advice on solving common familial problems and challenges. Every family will benefit from reading James Dickson's powerful new book."" -Katherine Hutchinson-Hayes, EdD, author of God's Little Black Dress for Women (How to Put on the Full Armor of God Without Losing Your Femininity) & A Fifth of the Story ""James Dickson has creatively brought to the readers of this volume a somewhat different approach to Christian parenting. Most books and conferences give three to seven broad-ranging principles and Pastor Dickson presents a different scenario in that parenting is perhaps best understood as biblical faithfulness in ""a thousand little moments."" This premise is more than interesting, it is intriguing and informative not only because of his approach but because of his faithfulness to the Bible as the touchstone for effective Christian parenting. Enjoy."" -Harry L. Reeder III, Senior Pastor, Briarwood Presbyterian Church, Birmingham, Alabama ""A Thousand Little Moments is a hands-on book about Christian parenting. Yet it is so much more. Saturated with scriptural application and steeped in practical advice, James Dickson gets right to the point. Once you read it, you will be not only motivated but also equipped to become a better parent."" -Dr. Ryan F. Whitley, Senior Pastor, CrossPoint Church, Trussville, Alabama"
