NOTE TO READERS:
I completed PARENTS DON’T KNOW EVERYTHING for our two children in 1997. The books and writings listed in this Bibliography provided insights that informed my writing. Selected quotes from these sources have been included in the stories posted here. Others will be posted in future updates. Some are awaiting publisher’s permission before posting.
Nearly twenty years have passed since writing this book. The stories still reflect my parent’s heart. The Bibliography, if crafted today, would reflect my own personal and spiritual growth during that time.
This Bibliography provides access to the materials used when writing PARENTS DON’T KNOW EVERYTHING. However, it is not a recommended reading list. There is much of value here, and some make my personal Top Ten. But you, the reader, must use your own discernment.
