AN 8-TRACK PARENT IN AN MP3 WORLD is published! Most parents are frustrated about their child’s music choice.
“An 8-Track Parent In An Mp3 World” gives parents and kids a basic understanding of the gift of music, guides them on how to choose songs that are appropriate, and fosters conversations that are healthy, Biblical, and non-threatening.
The author’s 13-year-old son, Nathan, adds his input in special sections called “Nathan Notes.”
This book is a “must have” for parents with kids ages 10-18.
THE BACKGROUND TO THE BOOK: My 13 year old son called me from a music store asking if he could buy a CD. I was thinking he was choosing between Audio Adreneline or The Newsboys; good Christian bands. But then he said, “Dad, which is better. Van Halen or Deff Leopard?” I knew at that moment, we had to come up with some guidelines on choosing appropriate music for our family.
I wrote these guidelines in book form which should be availalbe on Amazon within the next few weeks. If you have a pre-teen or teenager, these guideline will help you foster good conversations about music and help keep the peace in your household.
(NOTE: While my book is currently self-published, we are working with an awesome publisher to bring it to a local bookstore near you. I am also developing a website that will give our opinions on the most current songs out there. Keep Watching! – todd stocker)
