A progressive Christian parenting book with a social-justice orientation How do we build a better world? One key way, says Cindy Wang Brandt, is by learning to raise our children with justice, mercy, and kindness. In Parenting Forward Brandt equips Christian parents to model a way of following Jesus that has an outward focus, putting priority on loving others, avoiding judgment, and helping those in need. She shows how parents must work on dismantling their own racial, cultural, gender, economic, and religious biases in order to avoid passing them on to their children. “By becoming aware of the complex ways we participate in systems of inequality or hierarchy,” she says, “we begin to resist systemic injustice ourselves, empower our children, and change our communities.”

I am not a parent, but I wanted to read Cindy's book because I heard her speak at The Evolving Faith Conference in 2018 and I love her perspective on raising children and interacting with children.
If you appreciate the perspectives of Rachel Held Evans, Sarah Bessey, Jen Hatmaker, etc. this is another great book for you to read.
