LYNNE SPEARS’ BOOK IS NOT A PARENTING HOW-TO

Contrary to Media Reports, Pop Culture Mom Is a Memoir—and a Warning

(Nashville, TN) Thomas Nelson, Inc., announced today that Lynne Spears’ book, Pop Culture Mom: A Real Story of Fame and Family in a Tabloid World, is not a book on how to parent.

“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 CEO of Thomas Nelson. “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.”

Hyatt continued, “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, and we are confident in His ability to turn ashes into beauty” (Isaiah 61:3).
