Going Solo

April 1, 2018

Reading may not be high on the already overloaded to-do list of the single parent, but for those looking for hope and help, music executive Beeson offers a useful resource. Being a single parent may be a status, but being a solo parent is a condition, states the author, one filled with a dizzying array of sometimes conflicting emotions. Beeson shares the four P's that saved his sanity as a solo parent: pause, prayer, practices, and perspective. Having worked with many popular music artists, Beeson navigated single parenthood for seven years after his painful divorce before remarrying. Personal anecdotes, encouraging Scriptures, and tales from the Christian music world pepper this book, which will appeal to both single moms and dads (the former not covered as prominently). VERDICT Applicable to the growing demographic of single parents, this is sure to find an audience with faith-filled readers.
