Bad Parents: Reflections On Genesis By: Spencer Bagwell An illuminating and nuanced deep dive into the first, and possibly most well-known, book of the Bible, Bad Parents: Reflections on Genesis invites us to question how both modern Christian Churches and popular culture present a version so at odds with the words as written. Full of flawed and often vindictive characters, including a wrathful and unforgiving God, how is Genesis supposed to be interpreted? How are present-day Christians to apply these stories to their own faith? Bad Parents will guide the reader on a thought-provoking journey through the pages of Genesis, and suggest how we might use it in our own lives.

No parent is perfect. But let’s just say some need more guidance than others. My Bad Parent is a reminder of the lesson all parents will unavoidably pass down: Do as I say, not as I do. With full-color candid photos and wry captions, this book exposes the least effective techniques for raising healthy, balanced children. It chronicles the high adventure of raising a child to adulthood, or at least until the kid can do a keg stand all by himself. My Bad Parent tackles the toughest issues in modern parenting, including: •The number of feet in the air it is permissible to launch a child •The proper size paint bucket used as a motorcycle’s sidecar •The right time to introduce a toddler to the exciting world of political extremism •What’s better for a toddler—a standard or a retractable leash?
