Bonnie J. Miller-McLemore

This is a wonderful book that I highly recommend for anyone who interested find the practical application of their faith in daily life. It is full of stories that illustrate how to think and act in a deeper and wiser manner as a Christian.

Calls for Christians to nurture all children. Childcare is a spiritual discipline (cf CS Lewis in his quiet study!), and communal practice. Art depicts movement from cultural perceptions of children--depraved, innocent, knowing.

It was interesting reading this work from a male perspective. Dr. Miller-McLemore makes a lot of excellent arguments from a theological, psychological and sociological perspective, and her perspective as a feminist, theologian and mother bring an untapped view into the theological discussion on work and family. I loved this book, and I found many of her points helpful in evaluating the unspoken pressures from the workplace on both women and men.
