Default "Parenting" by Paul David Tripp

A friend of mine from church recommended "Parenting" by Paul David Tripp. I found a devotional on the YouVersion Bible app that is based on the book and introduces each of the 14 gospel principals that he covers in his book. I enjoyed the plan and did not think anything was alarming about it. I am interested in reading the book, but I hesitated to buy it; I like to read actual paper books so I can highlight and make notes, but I could buy the kindle and get a free audible version for my husband to listen to as he drives.
Oops, I posted before I was finished! Anyhow, now that y'all are questioning it, I am too - I didn't know if Paul David was related to the "bad" Tripp and I don't know any history about P.D.

More thoughts -
The devotional has a 2-3 minute video of Paul talking about each principle for each day, and related verses. From what I can tell through the devo, my guess is that the book isn't about practical discipline techniques, but rather guiding principles. The way he presented things kind of made me shift my thinking. I did feel it was in agreement with grace-based parenting. But then again, I'm new to GBD and there may be something I missed.
One thing he talks about that resonated with me was that the work of salvation (of our children) belongs to Jesus. Our main job as parents is to point our children to Christ, through grace. It made me feel as tho the everyday struggles we have as parents are kind of universal, but that God provides these gospel principles that can build the framework of our discipline.
