The following resources are ones that we at Brave Parenting engage with on a regular basis. We have no affiliate relationship with any of these organizations, people, or links provided below – we just really love them!
As we parent and navigate our current culture saturated with media and technology, these resources help us think biblically and stay grounded in God’s Truth.

The Disappearance of Childhood by Neil Postman
“Modern classic of social history and media traces the precipitous decline of childhood in America today−and the corresponding threat to the notion of adulthood” Written in the 1980s, this book’s concern is the loss of childhood due to television – it’s relevance to today and the internet cannot be understated.
Amusing Ourselves to Death by Neil Postman
“What happens when media and politics become forms of entertainment? As our world begins to look more and more like Orwell’s 1984, Neil Postman’s essential guide to modern media is more relevant than ever.”
Love Thy Body by Nancy Pearcey
“Are transgender people discovering their authentic self? Is the hookup culture really liberating? Does abortion lead to equality for women? Does homosexuality contradict our biological sex?”
Strange New World by Dr. Carl Trueman
“How did the world arrive at its current, disorienting state of identity politics, and how should the church respond? Historian Carl R. Trueman shows how influences ranging from traditional institutions to technology and pornography moved modern culture toward an era of “expressive individualism.”
Pursuit of Holiness by Jerry Bridges
“”Be holy, for I am holy,” commands God to His people. But holiness is something that is often missed in the Christian’s daily life. Bridges helps us see clearly just what we should rely on God to do-and what we should accept responsibility for ourselves.”
How Should We Then Live? by Francis Schaeffer
“Schaeffer argues that the erosion of society begins with a shift away from biblical truth. To support this claim, he walks readers through history, beginning with the fall of Rome, through the Middle Ages, the Enlightenment, and up to the twentieth century. This latest edition analyzes the reasons for modern society’s state of affairs and presents the solution: living by the Christian ethic, fully accepting God’s revelation, and affirming the morals, values, and meaning of the Bible.”
Holiness by J.C. Ryle
“I have had a deep conviction for many years that practical holiness and entire self-consecration to God are not sufficiently attended to by modern Christians in this country. Politics, or controversy, or party-spirit, or worldliness, have eaten out the heart of lively piety in too many of us. The subject of personal godliness has fallen sadly into the background.” –Ryle, 19th Century.
Truths We Confess: A Systematic Exposition of the Westminster Confession of Faith by R.C. Sproul
“The Westminster Confession of Faith is one of the most precise and comprehensive statements of biblical Christianity, and it is treasured by believers around the world. Dr. R.C. Sproul has called it one of the most important confessions of faith ever penned, and it has helped generations of Christians understand and defend what they believe.”
