Description
How can we tend to our families in a world filled with distractions and difficulties?
Between busy schedules, household tasks, and legacies of oppression, it can be difficult for parents and other caregivers of children to care for their inner selves, much less engage in spiritual contemplation. Then add to that the emotional challenges that can arise in the highs and lows of parenting, including fear, sadness, shame--and even joy and delight. But there is a way to find the energy and grace to tend to our families, along with the world, from a place of spiritual wholeness. In parenting, we are repeatedly invited to discern how to live in right relationship with our kids, our partners or other adult family members, our communities, and ourselves. Parenting is part of living out God's shalom.
?
Authors and life partners Aizaiah G. Yong and Nereyda Yong contend that social healing and world peace start at home. As the parents of four young children in an interracial and intercultural family, they offer stories and spiritual practices for the inner and communal lives of parents in a beautifully diverse world. Sacred Parenthood invites readers into creative spiritual expression in everyday family life. We can find new ways to hold the vulnerable lives around us with a bit more tenderness. As we do so, we can experience anew the gift and sacredness of parenting.
