Customer comments on this selection.
A great book! It's very nice to have a parenting book that doesn't waste time or pages waxing lyrical about mythologies and instead just gets down to the business of raising intelligent and ethical children.
Big Fan This book is a wonderful resource and I am enjoying it very much. I can't wait for "Raising Freethinkers" to come out!
Amazingly refreshing I have not finished it yet but it is just what I needed to get the support that was lacking as I raise my son to be a free-thinker.
Greatest value comes from lack of competitors Not a whole lot on the subject out there, so you take what you can get. It's not a bad book, but it wasn't phenomenal either. It's a lot of stories and anecdotes. Not much 'how to' to get through the challenges, but more of a pat on the back and some reassuring words that things turn out in the end.
I wish my parents had had this book! Raising a child outside of a congregation can be a lonely experience. Although my husband and I are both atheists, and are part of the freethought community, there's little in the way of family resources available to us.
Along comes this book. I had high hopes, though I somewhat expected to be disappointed; the first time someone does something, it doesn't always come out that well. Imagine my surprise when I found myself learning so much about what it is to be a child without a church, even though I had been one. I remember my mother and father groping their way in the dark through various situations, and though they did pretty well, I imagine it would have been a lot easier with something like this to guide them.
This is a permanent part of our parenting library, and I recommend it to parents whenever I get a chance!
