Description
Bless This Mess (2019) is a parents’ guide to raising Christian children in a bewildering age. Combining spiritual wisdom with the latest thought in child psychology, the authors aim to show that there’s no reason to think of the terms “progressive” and “Christian” as contradictory when it comes to child-rearing.
Who Should Listen
- Prospective parents who want to raise their children to be both Christian and progressive
- Current parents who have lost touch with their own childhood faith
- Anyone interested in twenty-first century Christianity
