Parenting Forward by Cindy Wang Brandt

28/01/2020 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:

About GUC

We are a community on a journey. We’ve grown from a small faith community planted in Ngunnawal in the early years of Gungahlin’s development to a thriving intergenerational and multicultural community located near the Gungahlin town centre.

Gungahlin Uniting Church is an open and inclusive community.  You are welcome to join us and participate in the life of our community as we experience life, God and seek to follow the way of Christ.
