My friend Mary E. De Muth has just published a very interesting and timely parenting book that I think those of you with children might be interested in. It's called Authentic Parenting in a Postmodern Culture.
I haven't finished reading it yet but have already found the first few chapters really informative and helpful. She's a very honest writer and uses her own experiences parenting her three children with insight and transparency. I'm not a parent but I think she has a way of very clearly clarifying the changing shifts in culture that we are experiencing and how we can best aid children and young people in their negotiation of their culture.
Her website Pioneer Parenting is also a useful forum for parenting discussion and ideas. This might be a book Emerging Women could study in the book club.
This blog is a space for women involved in the emerging church conversation to use their voice. This is a space to voice your thoughts, express your opinions, and practice your theology. This is a safe community where we can complain, deconstruct, brainstorm, network, dream, and encourage. Let your voice be heard.

Authentic Parenting in a Postmodern Culture
I just purchased the book, thanks Miz Melly! I'd be interested in doing it for a book discussion -- the only thing is I want to be sensitive to those for whom parenting is not a life issue. What are everyone's thoughts on whether a parenting book is appropriate for this discussion group?
