Parenting Forward by Cindy Wang Brandt

January 28, 2020 by Darren Wright

Title: Parenting Forward

Author: Cindy Wang Brandt

Pages: 169

Themes: Parenting, Spirituality, Justice, Racism, Raising Children, Sex, Gender, Inclusion, Environment, Equality.

Audiobook: We do not have this book on audio, but it can be accessed through Audible.com.au

Reader Guide: Cindy has made a reading guide for people reading the book either individually or as a group, you can download the Parenting Forward Reader Guide here

Description

Cindy writes a great little book written with the aim to help people, (parents, grandparents, carers…) raise children in today’s world with core values of kindness, mercy and compassion. 

The book offers a vision of parenting that sits with a more progressive understanding of faith, one that embraces gender equality, challenges racism, inspires the imagination and dreams of a world where we can hope our children will one day live.

I really enjoyed this book as a parent, as a pastor and as a person of faith, the stories she tell ring familiar and the challenge that her book offers is strong but possible.

Get to Know Cindy before (or after) reading the book:
