What Do I Say When…?
by Andrew and Christian Walker
Reviewed by Matt Tramp
The fact that raising children can be one of the most challenging and surely one of the most crucial tasks that we are faced with today underlines the importance of having accurate, applicable, and accessible resources when we need them. What Do I Say When…? by Andrew T. Walker and Christian Walker is no doubt one of those resources.
It is required by the proactive parent to have the ability to speak confidently in a biblically sound manner on topics that include technology, abortion, transgenderism, and many others that our children are face with daily. These sometimes-difficult topics are covered in this easy-to-read book, followed by a simple list of biblical, theological, and philosophical truths and a memory verse.
At the end of each chapter, the author lays out the groundwork for approaching the topic with your children in three different ways (depending on your child’s age). As if all those things were not enough, I contend that the “Conclusion” chapter alone is worth having the book as a resource for the four pieces of “on the ground advice for how to move forward with your child in this culture.”
“… it is those small conversations (with our children) along the way that accumulate into a worldview.”
