Although I am only half way through, I highly recommend Give them Grace by mother/daughter team Elyse Fitzpatrick and Jessica Thompson. It was on our "recommended summer reading" list from Bible Study Fellowship, and I have simultaneously been challenged and comforted by it. I think whether you have children or not, you can learn something from this book. It truly is a gospel-centered book on parenting.
(From the book)
"Grace is stronger than all our work and all our weaknesses and it is made perfect when we humble ourselves before God's desire to glorify his Son and not our great parenting."
"But he said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.' Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me." (II Cor. 12:9)
