What is God the Parent?

God the Parent is a Scripture-based Christian parenting book that explores how God parents His people—and how we can follow His example. It’s not a self-help guide with a few verses sprinkled in. This is a deep, thoughtful Christian parenting guide rooted in both Old and New Testament principles, offering practical advice for everyday parenting challenges.

Who is this book for?

Whether you're a new parent, a seasoned mom or dad, a grandparent, or a ministry leader, God the Parent is for anyone seeking Christian parenting tips grounded in Scripture. If you want to raise your children with grace, truth, and purpose, this book is for you.

How is this book different from other Christian parenting books?

Many Christian parenting books use isolated verses or focus heavily on modern psychology. God the Parent is different: it takes a comprehensive, Bible-wide approach. Nate Davis spent over a decade studying how God the Father interacts with His children, drawing timeless lessons for today's families. The result is a guide rich in theology, yet practical and clear.

What topics does the book cover?

God the Parent covers a wide range of topics, including:

• Building trust and connection

• Understanding and applying biblical discipline

• How to correct without provoking

• Teaching obedience from the heart

• Structuring authority in the home

• Grace-based parenting from God’s perspective

• Long-term spiritual formation

What do you mean by “biblical discipline”?

Biblical discipline is not about punishment or control—it’s about discipleship, training, and correction done in love. The book walks through how God disciplines His people and how parents can mirror that with clarity, grace, and truth.

Is this a grace-based parenting book?

Yes, God the Parent emphasizes grace-based parenting. While it doesn’t shy away from authority, structure, and boundaries, it consistently reminds parents that God’s way is full of mercy, patience, and transformation. It’s a balance of grace and truth—just like Jesus.
