Title: Small Talk: Learning From My Children About What Matters Most Author: Amy Julia Becker Narrator: Amy Julia Becker Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 19 minutes Release date: May 30, 2023 Genres: Counseling & Inspirational Publisher's Summary: Almost every day, one of Amy Julia's children says something or asks something that prompts her to think more carefully: 'What 'lasting' mean?' William wonders when he hears a song about God being an everlasting God. 'If the children who died went to heaven, then why are we sad?' Penny asks, when she passes by a funeral for a victim of the Sandy Hook shootings. 'I don't wanna get 'tized!' says Marilee about baptism. These conversations deepen her relationships with her children, but they also deepen and refine her own understanding of what she believes, why she believes it, and what she hopes to pass along to the next generation. Small Talk is a narrative based upon these conversations. It is not a parenting guide. It does not offer prescriptive lessons about how to talk with children. Rather, it tells stories based upon the questions and statements Amy Julia's children have made about the things that make life good, the things that make life hard, and what we believe. Amy Julia moves in rough chronological order through the basic questions her kids asked when they were very young to the more intellectual and spiritual questions of later childhood. Small Talk invites other parents into these same conversations, with their children, with God, and with themselves.
