Rick Shrader‘s Review:

Andreas and Margaret Köstenberger updated a previous volume (Equipping for Life) with this 2020 edition in a smaller (130 pages) and more readable format. The outline for the book (also shortened from the previous volume) is called 3R Parenting: Realistic, Relational, and Responsible. These flow in a chronological order from early marriage to parenting adult children. “While many young couples start out with lots of idealism and live largely in the present, facing the challenges as they come, much can be gained by understanding the life cycle of parenting: from infant to toddler, all the way to the teenage years and young adulthood” (p. 10).
