About the Book
Today’s world presents many challenges to raising children, including ever-changing technology, gangs, drug culture, and an array of other harmful influences. It’s more difficult than ever to help children be safe, stable, happy, and able to resist temptations. In Rearing Children in a Postmodern World, author Pastor Carey N. Ingram guides you through the complexities of Christian parenting and gives hope to those overwhelmed by the worldly conditions.
Building on his experiences as a parent, grandparent, teacher, pastor, and mentor, he provides advice about teaching children to live a life that is pleasing in the eyes of God. He explores the origin of the dysfunctional family, emphasizes the importance of mentoring, and discusses
• how to understand the postmodern world;
• whether to discipline or punish children;
• how gangs affect children; and
• why abstinence should be a teen goal.
Providing a fresh approach to raising children today, Rearing Children in a Postmodern World offers insight into how parents, schools, community agencies, and industries can work together to bring success and happiness to youngster’s lives.
