Like Our Father: How God Parents Us and Why that Matters for Our Parenting
Reveal God to your children by parenting them like He parents us. Tired of all the parenting books full of strategic checklists, how-to advice, and quick tips? If so, this book is for you. Instead of focusing on parenting techniques, it’s about who God is, who we are in light of that, and how God’s character gives form and shape to our parenting. Christina Fox wants you to explore the Scriptures with her and discover the goodness of the God who makes us His own. As God’s beloved creatures, we bear His image—that is, we show others who He is as we glorify Him. Is anything more important to pass on to our children than this? In Like Our Father , you’ll learn to parent in light of the timeless and profound truths that Though it’s tempting to want a step-by-step instructional manual on how to raise kids, what you really need is a clearer, grander, bolder vision of your Heavenly Father. When you’ve got His character before your eyes, you’ll live it out in front of your kids. And as they share in your magnified vision of God, they’ll begin to live as the image-bearers that He made them to be.

Yes, I read this book in one day. No, that really didn't do justice this book. However, it's due back at the library, and I wanted to see if this was a book I would be interested in reading. I loved it. I loved how Fox just spent the whole book pointing parents to the character of God.
I will be rereading this in the future, but much slower so I can fully appreciate all she has to say.

A parenting book that is solid theologically and that encourages you to love and discipline your kids the way our Heavenly Father loves and disciplines us. 💕
Despite being biblical, I gave this book only three stars because I felt that it took a long time for the author to get to her point in every chapter. This book would have been better if it had been condensed to maybe about 50 pages. I felt like the author used 90% of the book just talking about random stories that only loosely connected and over explaining or over using quotes before coming to the 10% that was actually the point. 😅
I think this book would be helpful for parents who are new to their faith in Christ and would benefit from learning more about who God is and how he does love and discipline us, since the book devoted a lot of time in each chapter on who God is and then a little part on parenting in light of that.

Books and articles abound on ways to heal from “daddy deficit” or “father hunger,” and for a hurting Christian it can be particularly meaningful to discover that God can be those things our earthly father never could. In the book “Like Our Father,” author Christina Fox takes this whole concept though, flips it on its head and stunningly reorients us, as we seek to not just heal our own hearts, but impact the next generation. We don’t ever need to be done with soaking in how much God is (in the words of Chris Tomlin) our “good, good Father,” or how He can help us heal those wounds--we can keep soaking in that all our lives. But it doesn’t need to stop there.
Fox urges us on by painting a picture of the Fatherhood of God towards his child as a powerful archetype or even prototype. So, when we find ourselves receiving the torch of parenthood, with a child suddenly under our care, we are ushered into this sacred role where we are called to shadow our Heavenly Father. Wow. That’s a high calling that most of us are still figuring out, but “Like Our Father” is a great guidebook for the journey.
In spite of the title, this book isn’t just for fathers. And Fox doesn’t waste time fretting with whether or not these principles apply to moms. All applications are skillfully (and I believe, rightly) applied to all fathers and mothers who seek to parent their kids in the Lord.
One of my favorite things about “Like Our Father” is its capacity to lead us to worship. Each chapter focuses on a fatherly quality of God and challenges us to emulate this quality as we parent, in creative, even counter-cultural ways. But there is lots of digging into Scripture to see, “How does God show us these qualities?” For some of us working through the book, we may want to slow down to a more meditative pace through these God-centered sections, and simply worship Him for these fresh views of his fatherly love towards us. And that’s not a bad place to linger for awhile.
One more special feature of “Like Our Father” is the extensive list of reflection questions at the end of each chapter. These questions seem especially well-suited for discussion, and I think they would be really fruitful, for example, were Mike & I to read the book together and talk through the questions with our own sons in mind. I appreciate Fox’s versatility as she doesn’t simply err on the side of only writing to first-time parents, or “the little years.” Rather her challenges are robust enough to resonate with parents of tweens (that’s us!), and I suspect parents of teens or even empty-nesters would also benefit from thoughtful consideration of “Like Our Father.”

Read it!
“We were made to mirror God; we point to Him. The moon in the dark night sky has no light of its own; rather it reflects to us the light of the sun. In a similar way, we image to the world—and our children—who God is.”
“Who am I? This is the most important question one can ask in life. The answer to this question first lies in who God is.”
“The regular rituals, routines, and rhythms or our homes help form the direction or our hearts. We come to depend and rely on our habits to give our lives meaning.”
Notice: I received an advance digital copy of this book for my honest review.

“While the Bible may not provide steps and procedures to follow, it does point us to truths that can shape the whole of our parenting.” - Christina Fox
I LOVED this book so much. With parenting we are often given so much advice (sometimes unwanted 🥴) and rules to do things the “right way”
We look to blogs, our favorite Instagram accounts and those around us. While these things are not bad, scripture gives us sacred truths that can steer our hearts to parent our children well, reflecting how lGod our Father so tenderly cares for us.
I left this book realizing that my heart motives in parenting mean more than any outward appearance alone.
We learn this in Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount. We know not to murder but what about the hatred and anger in our hearts? What about the frustration that rises up when our children fail our expectations and constantly disobey?
This is the parenting book I didn’t know I needed. Adding this to my list of baby shower gifts for new mamas and parenting book recommendations list for sure!
Read this book if:
-You desire to parent one day
-You have been a parent for a few weeks or many years. You will definitely be encouraged
-You mentor or disciple parents in your church
This book includes questions for reflection and a prayer at the end of each chapter. You could also use as a buddy read with a friend or small group.

This isn’t just another parenting book. It’s a call to consider the character of God and how we should reflect Him as we parent. And abiding in the Vine is the only way that can happen. I walked away convicted and encouraged to reflect upon the way that I parent and why. Highly recommend and will be continuing to meditate on and reference this book as I go about my parenting journey!
At the end of each chapter you will find questions and a prayer. Would be great to read with a friend or small group.

The parenting ship? That vessel sailed for me when my youngest 2 moved out. Yet, because of my role as a mentor of young moms, I continued to read a lot of parenting books so that I would know what options were out there to recommend. Not many, I learned, at least not many that don't take a "follow steps A, B, and C and you'll have a perfect child" approach. Or that don't presume every child and every parent falls into neat, cookie-cutter molds. Or that don't shame parents for the inevitable mistakes that happen in parenting, or even worse, for their adult children being anything outside the church's proscribed template.
With Christina Fox's latest book, I've learned
1) The parenting ship hasn't sailed just because the kids have moved out. We continue to parent even if our kids are adults. Christina's amplification of the character of God beyond the flat page of the Bible to a fully-relational Father who loves consistently, sacrificially, and unconditionally speaks to parents of adult children spreading their wings of independence and exploration just as much as it does to mommas and dads of little ones learning to walk, talk, play, pray, and engage.
2) Here is the parenting book that I can recommend to young moms. Christina Fox starts with the divine model for biblical parenting (the reason why it's important and why it's possible), highlighting the ways in which our Father God parents us, and then clearly reveals and explains from Scriptural narratives and teachings what His parenting looks like, giving us a map to follow.
He is constant and He is consistent with us. He makes it possible for us to be consistent with our children.
He provides boundaries so that we are identified as part of His family. He demonstrates the importance of boundaries so that we can help our children navigate life.
He sends His Spirit to teach and train us. That same Spirit guides us through engagement with His character so that we know how and what to teach and train our children.
And so on. He disciplines us, He gives us what we need, He shows patience in our foolishness, and He loves us.
Now, go and do likewise. How can we be like God, you ask?
She writes:
"While we image God in many ways in our life and in a variety of circumstances, such as in our work, our creativity, and our love toward one another, one of the ways we image Him is in parenting our children. When we parent our children as God parents us -- when we relate to them the way God relates to us -- we show them who He is; we point them to their own Father in heaven."
And best of all, Christina Fox shows us that we can always go back to God our Father as we struggle and stumble as parents: no shame, no added rules and checklists, no templates or molds. Just a loving and faithful Father waiting to set us back on track.
The book would make an excellent study for a parents group. Discussion questions are included with each chapter.

Christina Fox gives a gospel-focused approach to parenting. Each parenting area she addresses starts with our Heavenly Father, then moves to what that looks like in our personal interactions with children, and always reminds the reader that when we fail to do it perfectly, we can run to the throne of grace because Christ did it perfectly for us.
What you won't find in this book is "5 steps to _____" or behavior management. We all know that what works for one kid won't work for every kid.
As a teacher and children's minister, this book challenged me to look at my own heart and motives in certain situations and gave me a deeper understanding of my Heavenly Father. Parents, principals, pastors, teachers, nannies, anyone who works with kids would benefit from reading this book. The insight Christina gives goes beyond "parenting".

Mining the pages of Scripture for all they’re worth, we discover the treasure of God’s character. After all, the Bible’s a book about God, so when we resist the urge to make it all about us, we meet him there, and, ironically, we receive the gift of self-knowledge as a bonus.
Because God is holy, I can live in purity and integrity. Because God is love, I can be fueled by self-giving love with no hidden agenda. As we image God with our limited but faithful reflection of his attributes, we are even empowered to image him in our parenting practices.
This premise separates Like Our Father from other parenting books I have read, because Christina Fox has not set out to answer the question “How?” Instead, she urges readers to embrace “Who?” as the guiding question for our parenting journey.
Who is God?
The biblical record and our own experience reveal that his dealings with us, his fractious, prone-to-wander children, are always conducted with patience and love.
He is consistent, and he tenderly trains us.
When we drift off course, his discipline awaits us.
He provides what we need, but when we ask for stones that look, to us, like bread, his perfect love requires that he refuse.
Even in my present season of parenting adult children, I found Like Our Father pointing my heart back to gospel underpinnings. I still make mistakes and fail to be the mum I want to be. Once again, the question is not “How can I be better?” but “To WHOM can I turn for forgiveness and reconciliation and grace to start over?”
As we understand God’s motives, he, the perfect parent, invites us to seek his wisdom for ways in which we image him to our children in everyday situations–and over the course of a faithful lifetime.

My bookshelf (and maybe yours) is full of parenting books, most of which are how to books. Like Our Father by Christina Fox focuses not on how, but on who: who God is (the perfect Father) and who we are (made in His image, imperfect sinners yet given the help of His Spirit). The quote, “As image bearers, we glorify God when we do what He does,” sets the tone for the book. We are called to be like God, even in our parenting.
Fox spends one chapter each on seven ways God parents us. As a struggling mom, I appreciate the section in each chapter that focuses on when we fail (because we will; we are not God). Although Fox is calling us to be like God in our parenting, she continually reminds us that we need a Savior just as our children do, and so, while we are imaging God as father to our children, we are also modeling for them how to go to God as our Savior. I found that section of each chapter comforting and encouraging.
Throughout the book, Fox strikes a helpful balance between biblical principles and practical ways for applying them. I look forward to implementing some of those ideas in our family.
Each chapter concludes with very thoughtful questions (some reflective, some rooted in Scripture, but all of which could lead to a good discussion either individually, in a small group, or between husband and wife) and “A Parent’s Prayer.”

So many parenting books focus on giving parents the short term solutions we are usually desperate for…and while these can be helpful, what we often need most is to remember who we are and who God is in relation to us. “Like Our Father” teaches and reminds us what it really means and looks like for God to be our Father, how He parents us through the ups and downs of our lives, and what it looks like to be held securely in the unconditional love of our Father. There are so many situations in parenting for which there is no “right answer,” or “quick fix,” but remaining grounded in the love, consistency, protection, boundaries, and provision of our Father allows us to better be able to provide what our children need most in every situation, because we are connected to Him and He is guiding us. Reading this book has been a breath of fresh air, as it has helped lift some of the anxieties I often feel about “getting it right,” and has made me want to just keep coming to Him, keep learning more about who He is and who I am.

Reflecting the light and love of God. That’s quite a lofty goal, but one we should always strive for. Especially with our children as we continue to parent them, whether they are young or old, by His example. Parenting doesn’t end when we become empty nesters (as I am now.) We continue to parent them in so many ways, and what better way than the way God parents us.
This book is for both mothers and fathers. Exploring the Scriptures, seeing God’s parenting, and meditating on His character, we discover His vision for us and those we love and influence.
Like Our Father is an important book that can be read rather quickly, but would serve us better to read it slowly, drinking in the messages of Who God Is. Each chapter focuses on our consistent, patient, and loving Father, contains thought-provoking questions for discussion, and closes with a simple prayer.

Being a mother has humbled me. Weekly I’m faced with my own questions and failures. The abundance of mommy bloggers and parenting books I’ve read still don’t make me the perfect parent. In his own wisdom, without degrees or mentorship, our Heavenly Father is the perfect parent to us all the time. And being our perfect parent, we can look to him and image his love to our children. In her latest book, Christina Fox reminds us of how God cares for us as his beloved children and how we can reflect such care to our children through our parenting. This book challenged me to think about not just being a "good parent" by the world's standards, or even my own, but to be a parent to reflects the love and care of my Heavenly Father.

I'm not sure about you, but I sometimes I feel compelled to do things "right" as a parent. Our neighbours parent one way, the books provided another way, our families offer their opinions.
But, really, what defines doing it "right" isn't about specific how-to's, but much more about modelling the way God parents us and applying that to the variety of situations we encounter as parents.
In her new book Like Our Father: How God Parents Us And Why That Matters For Our Parenting, Christina Fox walks us toward our Father and the truths of who He is. She helps us step away from the pressure of parenting, to focus on the relationship we have with God.
The first two chapters show us the beauty of being made in His image, then how fatherhood is more than just a metaphor, but that we've truly been adopted as God's child through the person and work of Christ. Through the gospel we have been adopted as His child; He is our Father.
So how does God parent us?
God is consistent.
God has boundaries.
God teaches and trains us.
God disciplines.
God gives us what we need.
God is patient with his children.
God loves his children.
If you're looking at these characteristics of God and using them as a measuring stick, you will feel sharply humbled. Gaze on these truths as one receiving an extravagant gift; because of the gospel we are recipients of His grace and goodness. As we consider the greatness and perfection of God, we can learn to depend on and trust Him-for we can do nothing in our own strength.
This book is an invitation to reflect on God the Father and what He's like, so that we can apply His model to our own parenting as we love and disciple our children. There's discussion questions at the end of each chapter which would make it great for use with friends, a small group, or your own personal reflection.

Why is someone who is not a parent reviewing a parenting book? Great question, I would love to tell you. First of all, I love Christina Fox’s writing. Her book, A Holy Fear, was the first book I had ever reviewed for Theology Gals. Second of all, I would actually love the ability to become a mom one day, but even if I don’t, I do have a niece and two nephews, as well as many other children in my life. Third of all, I just like to read lol.
If you are familiar with Elyse Myers on TikTok or Instagram, that intro might be amusingly familiar to you. But all of those things I’ve said above are true. This is actually the first parenting book I’ve read in my life, though I don’t expect it to be the last. I am part of the launch team for the book and I waited until the absolute last possible second to join because I wanted parents to have the first opportunity to join. That said, I think I might have an interesting voice to bring to the table as a nonparent, so I hope that you enjoy this review!
This is very different from what I would expect from a parenting book; however, not particularly different from what I would expect from Christina. I say this because this book is what I would call a theology of parenting, it’s not a step by step how to guide. Like Our Father takes a look at what it means for God to be our Father and how that can inform and model parenting for us. Naturally, Christina starts off talking about the fall and what it means for us to be made in God’s image with a thorough gospel presentation. On page 25, she writes:
Christina repeats that later in the book on page 166 as a perfect chiasm (a chiasm is when a story or book starts the way it ends, a writing version of a palindrome, like the name Hannah) and reminder in the conclusion. She also elaborates on page 26:
Like Our Father also goes beyond looking at who God is, but also looks at who we are as people and in Christ. We call God our Father because He is our Father, we are adopted into His family as His children. On page 34, Christina states it as, “Being a Christian means becoming sons and daughters of God.” This is a really important paradigm to keep in mind when we look at our own children, which we will look at more in a bit.
One of the things I appreciate most about Like Our Father is how much Christina emphasizes a solid theological understanding of God. An example of this can be found on page 35, where she writes:
How beautiful is that statement! This is what I mean when I say this book is a theology of parenting. From this premise, we begin to look at how our children’s needs can even point us to God. One of my favorite chapters is chapter 3, God is Consistent. In this chapter, Christina talks about how important routines can be to children (something I definitely related to when I was a child and I still find comfort in routines today as an adult). But because God is consistent, this means that we can trust God and that really opened my eyes to a different way of thinking about giving children routines. A child’s desire and need for routines points to a God of order and consistency. On page 50, Christina phrases it as, “While we can never be perfectly consistent and while we will fail, intentionally or unintentionally, as God’s image bearers, we glorify Him when we create structure and order.” Yet, she doesn’t belabor this point in such a way to guilt parents for their imperfections, she constantly gives grace, later saying on page 55, “Think of consistent parenting not as a rule that is impossible to keep, but as an opportunity to show your children who God is.”
Another thing I appreciated about Like Our Father is that Christina really uses a law gospel approach to parenting. There’s definite moments of pointing to the first use of the law to remind us of God’s goodness and our sinfulness, but there’s also an aspect of the freedom we have in Christ to not take parenting standards as an additional justifying law. Additionally, Christina also gives encouragement to remember that it’s really God who changes our hearts and conforms us to Christ (which means He also does this in our children). On page 79, she states it as, “We are not only saved by His grace, we are trained by His grace.” As an outsider to the mommy wars, one thing I’ve noticed is that people tend to make their parenting preferences as the end all be all. And while yes, there’s definitely ways to do things poorly or wrong, I think that people need to have grace in some of the differences that aren’t so black and white. If you seek to glorify God with your parenting choices, you’ve already got the most important part of the battle underway.
One of the most helpful parts of the book for me to hopefully keep in mind for later is the explanation between discipline and punishment. Christina explains that discipline is training for righteousness and it's not punitive. She also says, “This means our discipline is not about us and expressing our anger. It is not about getting even with our child” (page 106). A big takeaway is also pointing to the fact that we should show the fruit of the Spirit to our children.
This book was by far my favorite book that I’ve reviewed this week. Like Our Father was accessible and approachable. It is not gender specific, so it’s something you can go through with your husband or as a small group Bible study of parents. The book is saturated with scripture and really good for new parents, seasoned parents, and even hopeful parents.
Christina’s wisdom and insightful questions would also make this helpful for those who are newer to the faith or didn’t have a solidly Christian or healthy family upbringing. On a personal note, my parents divorced when I was 5 and my husband and I have been married about 4.5 years. Over the last 4 years, I’ve been unpacking a lot of the things I unconsciously absorbed through my parents that were likely not healthy and affected my marriage. So coming to this book, I realized I probably had similar concerns with raising children. That’s part of the reason Like Our Father was highly beneficial for me. I know I don’t have perfect parents, but I do have a perfect Father in heaven and if we are blessed with children, I know that He would love them better than we do and that I can trust that He will take care of their needs as He takes care of mine. So of course, this book gets 5 stars out of 5, but also a really big thank you to Christina Fox for writing it.
If you are familiar with Elyse Myers on TikTok or Instagram, that intro might be amusingly familiar to you. But all of those things I’ve said above are true. This is actually the first parenting book I’ve read in my life, though I don’t expect it to be the last. I am part of the launch team for the book and I waited until the absolute last possible second to join because I wanted parents to have the first opportunity to join. That said, I think I might have an interesting voice to bring to the table as a nonparent, so I hope that you enjoy this review!
This is very different from what I would expect from a parenting book; however, not particularly different from what I would expect from Christina. I say this because this book is what I would call a theology of parenting, it’s not a step by step how to guide. Like Our Father takes a look at what it means for God to be our Father and how that can inform and model parenting for us. Naturally, Christina starts off talking about the fall and what it means for us to be made in God’s image with a thorough gospel presentation. On page 25, she writes:
Just as God sent Moses to rescue His people from Pharaoh, He sent a Redeemer to rescue us from sin. Jesus Christ, the eternal Son of God, left the royal halls of heaven and came down to earth. He took on human flesh and fulfilled the promise God made to Adam and Eve in Genesis 3:15 to bruise the head of Satan. He came to defeat sin by living the life we could not live and dying the death we deserved. Through faith in who Jesus is and what He has done for us, we are set free from sin and are made new so that we can live our lives for the glory of God.
Christina repeats that later in the book on page 166 as a perfect chiasm (a chiasm is when a story or book starts the way it ends, a writing version of a palindrome, like the name Hannah) and reminder in the conclusion. She also elaborates on page 26:
Because we are image bearers, we image God to those around us. We reflect Him to others as we do what He does and as we display His character in our lives. And who do we see most often in our day to day life? Our children.
Like Our Father also goes beyond looking at who God is, but also looks at who we are as people and in Christ. We call God our Father because He is our Father, we are adopted into His family as His children. On page 34, Christina states it as, “Being a Christian means becoming sons and daughters of God.” This is a really important paradigm to keep in mind when we look at our own children, which we will look at more in a bit.
One of the things I appreciate most about Like Our Father is how much Christina emphasizes a solid theological understanding of God. An example of this can be found on page 35, where she writes:
God the Father, through the life and death of the Son, and by the Spirit’s regenerating work in our hearts, adopted us as His children so that we would join in the love and fellowship the Trinity has experienced together for all eternity.
How beautiful is that statement! This is what I mean when I say this book is a theology of parenting. From this premise, we begin to look at how our children’s needs can even point us to God.

I feel bad giving the is three stars because it has some excellent parts and Christina Fox seems very nice. However, This book could have been about 40-50 pages and it would have been a much better read. I imagine the author ran out of ideas and the publisher said something like this, “can we add questions and a model prayer at the end of each chapter to stretch it out? Oh and why don’t we number ever single sheet of paper in the book and make the title pages and copy write pages as actual pages in the page count. And while your at it, add some quotes to some of the pages to add some extra pages.”
-18 pages of this book are blank space. 18 pages out of 170.
If you count the prayers and questions and blank spaces you have 31 pages that aren’t the book. 31 pages of 170. The book part is really only 139 pages long.
What lost stars are for:
-starting the first page of the book on page 9
- having quotes from the pages in bigger and bolder font interrupting your reading
-lots of blank space
-some of the stories didn’t fit and I wondered why they were included (I.e. who needs to know about the trip to Israel to understand the Matthew 5-7 passage. Fun story to tell friends, didn’t apply to the book).
-some of the stories were wordy and too many details. They should have been edited down to a few sentences or one paragraph instead of a page or two.

March 21, 2022"This book is about who God is, who we are, and how that gives form and shape to our parenting."
A few favorite quotes:
"When we discipline, we point out not only their disobedience, we reveal to them the source of it. We can then teach them they need Someone outside themselves to rescue them. They need Jesus’ rescuing and saving grace. Yes, we provide consequences for sinful actions. But while doing so, we remind them over and over of the gospel."
"We also share with our children how the gospel has impacted and changed our own hearts. We need to make it clear that we are sinners too and that we need Jesus’ rescuing grace. One way to do this is with our own sin. When we sin against our children, we have an opportunity to model for them what repentance looks like."
"We have an opportunity to point our children to the heart of the Father in the way we respond to their sin—not in anger, but in compassionate understanding, for we too are prone to sin; not out of fear of what others think of us, but out of love for the hearts of our children; not in a desire to control, but in trust of the One who brings dead hearts to life. For as we respond to our children out of the abundant grace we’ve received, they will see Him through us."
"Seeking the Lord in prayer is essential for parents. We must bring our children before the throne of grace and seek God’s help and grace in our time of need. For ourselves, we’ll pray for strength, wisdom, perseverance, patience, and love. We’ll also pray prayers of confession for our sin and seek the forgiveness Christ purchased for us. Because it is the Lord who changes hearts, we pray for His work in our children, saving and transforming them. As we pray, we bring to the Lord all the worries and cares we have for our children. And we pray the prayer that never fails: Your will be done."

How does who God is shape and inform our parenting? In Like Our Father, Christina Fox shows how God parents us and why that matters for our parenting.
Imaging and Adoption
Ch. 1 speaks on imaging God to our children. I was struck by the statement that as parents, we are often the first glimpse for our children to see who God is. Personally, I thought about how I could image God’s patience, love, and faithfulness.
I was moved in Ch. 2 to see that Fox finds adoption to be foundational to our understanding of having God as our father. As God’s children, we have benefits and blessings unlike any other.
Consistency, Rules, and Limits
Consistency is the theme of Ch. 3. Fox challenges us to be consistent in the use of time, in our responses, in our rules and consequences, and expectations, and in rituals and traditions. God gives us grace when we are inconsistent, and we can use such opportunities to point to him.
God sets rules and limits for our good. We must teach our children the truth about God, but it must focus on the heart. This means that we teach about sin and forgiveness in Jesus.
Discipline and Provision
These concepts of sin and forgiveness are displayed as we discipline our children. Training and correction is loving and necessary. One application I would like to try is to talk about the gospel when I correct my children.
I was most interested to see how modeling prayer is important to show how God provides. God is patient with us and he loves us with affection and action.
How God Parents Me
Each chapter ends with questions for discussion, making this book the perfect resource for a small group or class. Not only did it give me ideas to grow and improve in my own parenting, but it showed me the ways God parents me and encourages my heart.
I received a media copy of Like Our Father and this is my honest review.

Encouragement to reflect our Father in any relationship!
Like Our Father is an encouraging look at how we can reflect the image of our Father in any relationships, especially parent/child relationships. Chapters explore an aspect of our Father and provide encouragement to parents in pointing children to Christ by example and even when example falls short. We are in awe at His gospel and rely on His grace and forgiveness in parenting.
Chapters close with discussion questions (so you could read with a friend) and a prayer of dependence and faith to God. Allow Christina Fox to encourage you to depend on Him for His work in our lives and others'.
Various thoughts Christina Fox highlighted which I appreciated include:
I am fascinated with how God teaches and trains us according to our current, individual needs. Although He is perfect he doesn't reveal all our sins to us at once.
The purpose of our Father's discipline is to train us in righteousness. Parents depend on the Holy Spirit to work through their discipline to point children to their need of a Savior.
Our Father's perfect provision for us spans redemption of our souls and physical minutia.
Patience includes active waiting (e.g. praying and trusting) on God's work in others' hearts.
Sometimes parents say they love unconditionally, but what if their love seems conditional? Our heavenly Father loves perfectly, and we rely on Him to bear that fruit in us.
Of course, though specific details vary, we seek to mirror our Father in any relationships, and we trust His Spirit's work. As a result, this book is a refreshing read for anyone, and I sincerely appreciated Christina Fox's encouragement.

"merely focusing on outward conformity, trying to control all the influences in their life, and closely monitoring everything they do will not reach the heart.... The more I consider the ways God trains me, the more I realize that my own children need to see the true state of their condition as sinners and of their need for Jesus." This chapter really touched my heart as the mother of 4 teenagers.
Fox does an excellent job of referring to Scripture as she shows us how our parenting should mimic Gods's role as Father in our own lives. If you're looking for another how-to on parenting, this is t it. If you're looking for a book that speaks to the heart of why we sin and how we should parent, this book is for you!

This is a really great book. Throughout this book, Christina Fox shows how God parents us and why that matters for our parenting. I like how it encourages the approach of God as the main foundation and central focus. Through this book we also discover God’s character. This book is about who God is, who we are, and how that gives form and shape to our parenting style. We also learn that through God as Father, we do have a perfect parent from whom we can learn. Because of the author, I was able to gain a deeper understanding of my Heavenly Father. I highly recommend this book for those parents seeking to understand how to parent their children in Jesus Christ. I received a copy of this book from the publisher for the purpose of this review.

Very helpful in reflecting on what parents can learn from their relationship with their Father. Many parenting books do the same, but lack the depth that Fox strives for. She does very well to note that what parents need most is not the "how" of parenting from day to day, but to focus on the underlying truths and their relationship with God. In a few places the book is exegetically weak both in interpreting Scriptures and in connecting her arguments to Scriptures. That being said, this is still a great read on the subject. I particularly enjoyed her discussions on God's consistency in routines and responses, demonstrating that parents should seek to emulate him in his fatherly consistency.
March 2, 2022
I highly recommend this book for parents seeking to understand how to parent their children in light of their identity in Christ. Christina saturates her book with Scripture and provides a helpful perspective on parenting in the context of being image-bearers of the Creator. She writes in Chapter 1, "As parents, we are often the first glimpse [our children] see of who God is. In our responses and actions, we point our children to the God who made them and saved them."
The Questions for Discussion at the end of each Chapter provide a helpful tool for digging deeper into our understanding of parenting as image-bearers. This book would be wonderful for individual or group study.

In, Like Our Father, Christina Fox provides an encouraging approach to parenting that holds God as the foundation and central focus. As the author peels back the layers of God’s character, she guides the reader to approach parenting afresh. The author unpacks what it means to be made in God’s image and how this impacts parents and children. Like Our Father encourages parents to examine their own relationship with God and how this affects their parenting. The author helps the reader understand the importance of parenting with a biblical perspective. Like Our Father is a book that encourages readers to maintain a gospel focus in parenting and life.

Not Just For Parents
In “Like Our Father” you will see how “the Father” fathers each of us and in turn how we are to image Him as we parent our children. Christina takes us through different attributes of God and leads us to a place of seeking after His example to love and provide for our children through structure, discipline, and patience. In doing so she reminds us of His love, provision, structure, discipline, and patience for us. I highly recommend this book to everyone!

I really want a formula for parenting that miraculously causes my kids to "act right." Christina Fox tells you up front that this is not that kind of book. She spends her time showing how knowing who God is impacts how we image him to our children. Looking at different ways that God shows his fatherly cares for us makes a difference in how we care for our kids. This consideration of the character of God was both encouraging and convicting to me as I consider how to image him to children.

What a beautiful thing is to read about parenting but always with God's perspective. How encouraging, hopefull and challenging! This book would be a beautiful gift for parents. I felt understood, and connected with many of the examples she shared. Even when this is not a devotional book, but a parenting book, I started and finished it's pages with a huge greatfulness in my heart for my heavenly father. I find her voice clear, open, honest and practical. I really enjoy Christina's content, her blog posts and other books are a huge blessing for me and my family. I recommend you to google her, follow her content and buy her resources. Looking forward for her future material.

I highly recommend this book!! Christina Fox does a great job reminding parents to love and parent our children how our Heavenly Father loves and parents us. I was extremely challenged by this book and loved how it was not a how-to-guide but rather made me reflect on my relationship with my Heavenly Father and applying that to my parenting. This will be a book that I will re-read many more times!
March 7, 2022
This book is just what I needed in this season of life. When were directed to look at how God parents us we don’t need 5 easy steps, we just need to focus on him who is our creator. Christiana brings light to what scripture says about parenting and the beautiful pictures it paints for us in our daily walk as parents and followers of Christ.
