Grace Based Parenting is not another manual full of impossible standards; rather it is a new map for learning to see ourselves and our children through God’s limitless tenderness – to raise our kids the way God raises us. Dr. Kimmel offers a revolutionary concept that focuses on the model and guidance provided by God the Father – the ultimate child and family expert.

This thoughtful, profound and compassionate message presents a truly liberating way to nurture a healthy family. As we embrace the grace God offers, we begin to give it – creating a sound foundation for raising morally strong and spiritually motivated children.

Dr. Tim Kimmel loves it when churches and families are healthy and strong. He loves it even more when they work as a team. Tim is the founder and Executive Director of Grace Based Families, whose goal is to see families transformed by God’s grace into instruments of reformation and restoration.

​Tim develops resources for families and churches and conducts conferences across the globe on the unique pressures that confront today’s families. Not only is Tim a well-known speaker, he has authored many books including: Grace Based Parenting and, most recently, Connecting Church and Home and Grace Filled Marriage. Tim and Darcy count their role as parents and grandparents as one of their greatest joys. God has blessed them with four children, their spouses, and a growing flock of grandkids.
