Parenting The Complex and Beautiful Vocation of Raising Children Holly Taylor Coolman This theologically and biblically rich commentary on the theme of raising children describes child-rearing as a vocation to which parents are called that requires them to develop the skills of apprenticeship and invitation. “I simply adored this book. Who doesn’t want to love their children better? To know them more fully? To have more peace and joy in their home? Coolman writes like a friend who’s been there, bringing a lifetime of wisdom and scholarship.” —ANNA KEATING, author of The Catholic Catalogue: A Field Guide to the Daily Acts That Make Up a Catholic Life “I literally learned parenting and theology on Holly’s couch, and I’m so glad her wisdom is now available in this book.” —BETH FELKER JONES, Northern Seminary; author of Practicing Christian Doctrine

Holly Taylor Coolman (PhD, Duke University) is assistant professor of theology at Providence College and a senior fellow of the Principium Institute.
