In the Midst of Chaos: Caring for Children as Spiritual Practice

In the Midst of Chaos, by Bonnie J. Miller-McLemore, explores parenting as spiritual practice.

Both honest about the difficulties and attentive to the blessings present in everyday life, it explores how parents might use seven daily practices, such as play, reading, chores, and saying goodbye or goodnight, as rich opportunities to shape both parent and child morally and spiritually.

Author Anna M. Madsen's book is a fresh and challenging look at the legacy of Martin Luther and the new reformation that is calling people of faith to action today.
