Wendy Thomas Russell is an award-winning journalist, author and secular-parenting blogger. Her work has been recognized and featured by a number of media outlets -- including the PBS NewsHour, Psychology Today, The Washington Post, New York Times Magazine's Sixth Floor Blog, Alternet, Salon, the Humanist Community Project at Harvard, and Patheos.com -- where she hosts a blog for non-religious parents called Natural Wonderers.

"Written for secular parents from a nonreligious perspective, this guide explores methods of teaching youngsters about God, religion and spirituality... Chapters deal with a variety of topics such as reactions of grandparents and other relatives, mixed-faith marriages, kids being harassed at school and how to handle discussions of death. At the same time, her easy-to-read style is down-to-earth and conversational. Contains a wealth of information for secular or mixed-religion families preparing for the God talk with kids." -- Kirkus Reviews
