NASHVILLE , Dec. 21 (UPI) -- The U.S. publisher of Lynne Spears' book said it is a memoir and a warning -- not a parenting guide as it has been called in the media. The release of "Pop Culture Mom: A Real Story of Fame and Family in a Tabloid World" was indefinitely postponed shortly before OK! magazine published an interview with Spears and her pregnant 16-year-old daughter, Jamie Lynn. "From the onset, the media have inaccurately reported that Lynne Spears' book is a parenting book. I'm sure this helps fuel tabloid readership, but it is simply not true," said Michael S. Hyatt, president and chief executive officer of Thomas Nelson, a company that describes itself as a "leading provider of Bibles, products and live events emphasizing Christian, inspirational and family value themes." "Lynne's memoir will provide a window into the real-life world of fame and worldly success, including the toll it extracts from some who aspire to it. It will provide a much-needed corrective to a world obsessed with the wrong priorities. We believe in redemption. Therefore, we are standing with Lynne and her family during this difficult time. Though the book has been delayed, we believe God is at work. The story is still being written." Parenting Blog Comment:
Parenting blog is sorry to say that no parenting guide of real value has yet been written in the history of human civilization. We live our life under tensions, stresses, beliefs (false!), anxieties, thrill of emotional excitements and bouts of depression. And that is what we pass on to our young ones in the name of parenting. We give them morals. We give them more fears. We turn them greedier. We sow the seeds of ambition in them. We rob them of their curiosity and turn them anxious. We rob them of their playfulness and turn them into disciplined robots sitting quiet in the boring classroom. And then we, in conspiracy with the teachers in the school, feed mechanical information into their creative brains in the most non-creative manner turning these delicate brains into insensitive, cunning minds. What we, at the end of the day, come up with is ignorance turned into cunningness along with fears and avarices multiplied manifolds!
