Confidence booster for parents

PARENTING AGAINST THE TIDE
A handbook for 21st-century parenting
By Ann Benton
EP Books. 247 pages. £8.99
ISBN 978 1 783 970 353

There are many books on parenting by ‘experts’ who give us a bucketful of sugar to help the medicine go down. Ann Benton’s parenting book is different. It is full, not just of home truths but of biblical truths.

Ann does not pull her punches. She puts the spotlight on an age which seeks pleasure first; on parenting which dances to the tune of the recent hit song Happy with the catchy lyrics ‘clap along if you think happiness is the truth’. The author is deliberately and faithfully going against the tide of a world-view about parenting. Some will find it uncomfortable and hard hitting but most will recognise the loving desire to reveal God’s truth about parenting.
