A book everyone has to read. Very helpful for all ages.

Josh McDowell nos da una gran lección a cerca de cómo guiar los jóvenes a través de pequeños actos que podemos ir haciendo para ayudarles de acuerdo a la necesidad por la que estén pasando.

Si bien este fue un libro que se escribió y publicó hacen ya mas de 20 años, lo que se desarrolla en éste es aplicable para este tiempo, puesto que esta generación que se está levantando actualmente, está cada vez más desconectada de muchas cosas, están conectados a través de las redes sociales e integrándose a grupos con los que quizá tenga cosas en comunes y esto también va determinado las decisiones que va a tomar dicho joven en su vida.

Me gustó mucho cómo se trataron los temas y la manera en la que nosotros podemos ser de ayuda no sólo a jóvenes, sino también a otros ya sean de nuestra edad o mayores, y de cómo Dios puede guiarnos para que podamos brindar esa ayuda que tanto se necesita.

Great book

Nice insights and useful to parents who want to raise children in the 21st century with its challenges and to be effective witnesses of Christ love

a bit dated but still offers solid advice in relating to the teens in your life. I need to read this again in a few years. I am just approaching this season in parenting, so this book should be more applicable as my children get older. I wonder if there is an updated version, now that teen's are literally disconnected (relationally) from their parents due to the invention of the smart phone and social media???
