We have tragically watched the meltdown of Britney Spears and been informed that her unwed sister is having a baby. We had also heard that the Spears family was a Christian family. So what happened and what can we learn to prevent these kinds of events from impacting our own children? Thomas Nelson publishers has recently released a book by Lynne Spears, mother of Britney, and Jamie Lynn regarding her experience as a mother. When asked why Thomas Nelson would publish such a book, Michael Hyatt (CEO of Thomas Nelson) lists four reasons:1. It is a fascinating story.
2. It is a warning to parents with children shuttled around from one activity to another.
3. It is a reminder that all parents make mistakes.
4. It is a book about faith because Lynne is a Christian and not afraid to admit it.
Michael Hyatt goes into more detail here. Note1: I have not read the book yet, but find Michael Hyatt to be credible in his perspective. Note 2: It does appear that through direct intervention, Britney Spears is on the road to recovery. We need to pray that she might be restored in her faith and have an opportunity to be a witness for Christ.
