“My teens are questioning the truth they have been told about Christ their entire lives!” “How do I deal with the peer pressure that's influencing them?” Many parents ask these and many other tough questions when their children reach the teen years, and the Parent's Guide to the Spiritual Mentoring of Teens is a book that answers them by sharing information, advice, and techniques to help guide teens into a growing, grace-filled love relationship with Jesus Christ. A new addition to Focus on the Family's best-selling series of guides.
This is a very full, very comprehensive look at mentoring a teen spiritually which as a result will overflow into every aspect of their lives. It's broken into five sections - Vision, Relationship, Discipling, Success, and Conclusion - and is rather daunting to read. However, the reading is easy and enjoyable and most definitely practical. While I appreciated this book very much, there is a lot of it that is really just a reminder of common sense parenting for those of us raised in solid Christian homes. It's a great reference tool, but I think that most people may want something with a little more meat to chew on. Or in the least, combine it with another book such as Age of Opportunity or Sacred Parenting.
