Story4.5 out of 5 stars 16
Perfection is the enemy of parenting. Jim Daly sees and hears from mothers and fathers trying hard to pursue perfection. They listen to the best experts and read all the right books. When someone gives them a "World's Best Mom" or "Number One Dad" coffee mug, they want it to be true. And they want their children to pursue perfection, too. It's admirable for parents to be the very best moms and dads they can be for their children. But sometimes in so doing, they leave grace behind - both for themselves and for their children.

I regret I bought this book.

A lot of extreme stories that are discounted to everyone’s everyday life. Overall, the author had a broken childhood. Where in book he said he spent no grief in time after losing his mom at 9 years old. I was shocked to my core! I lost my dad when I was 15 and he taught me so well that he is my role model in life. No matter how much strength he got from god or how well he was taught/guided by his parents, losing mom needs time to recover. He went straight playing as a normal boy just seems to be abnormal to me.
There are some good points there, but it’s not worth your time and there are way better options out there. I would not recommend this book at all.
