“As a mom to two young kids, this book is exactly what I need to navigate tough, cultural conversations from a biblical worldview.

My wife and I have already used it in our own parenting.”

“What a truly helpful and delightfully practical book! In a culture of chaos, it’s more important than ever that Christians know how to discuss difficult topics with their kids in a way that is faithful to the truth of Scripture.
