Tying Their Shoes: A Christ-Centered Approach to Preparing for Parenting
Digital Logos Edition
Overview
Through a gospel-centered approach to parenting, Tying Their Shoes by Rob and Stephanie Green, lays the foundation for expecting Christian 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 whats 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 high pressure situations cause us to lose our biblical footing, Tying Their Shoes aims to guide expectant Christian 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.

Rob and Stephanie have written a book on the preparation and process of early parenthood that balances out the biblical and practical eminently well. With practical advice flowing out of their biblical convictions, they neither prescribe nor mandate, but offer sage advice for a time in life when most couples desperately need it. This will now replace diapers as my go-to gift for newly expectant parents!

As a friend, I’ve had the privilege of watching the Greens’ children thrive under their care. I’ve also seen the impact of their first book, Tying the Knot, as we use it to prepare couples in our church for marriage. This new volume is filled with the same kind of wisdom, grace, and focus on Christ that characterized their first book, so I expect to see God use this just as greatly for his glory.

Tying Their Shoes, by Rob and Stephanie Green, offers exactly what the subtitle suggests. It is a Christ-centered approach to preparing for parenting. Don’t take that subtitle promise lightly. Some books on parenting provide a broad, Christ-centered approach, but they never address the nitty-gritty details of real-life parenting. Other parenting books talk about a ton of details, but you wonder where the gospel makes a foundational impact. In Tying Their Shoes Rob and Stephanie provide that rare balance: a parenting book that relates gospel reality to daily reality. Tying Their Shoes will be my go-to book to recommend to young parents, just as Tying the Knot has been the number one book I recommend to engaged couples.
