Title: Parenting Teens, A Field Guide  

Author: Janice Thompson

Publisher: Life Journey

ISBN: 0781442605

Genre: Inspirational/Nonfiction/Parenting

 

Janice Thompson spent many years working in youth ministry, and it shows. Parenting Teens is a sensible, yet enjoyable guide that will help parents tread the minefield of raising Godly teens in a secular world.

 

Parenting Teens is a journey and each chapter heading lists something you and your teens will need as you travel. I particularly liked chapter two, Flashlight; salvation. Then there’s Insect Repellant; resisting the enemy. There are also chapters about  keeping your prayer life active, trusting God with your future, and one called Bring a Rope; Rescue the perishing. Janice also encourages parents to set an example by living a Godly life before them.

 

If you have teens, you’ll want to add this book to your bookshelf. It’s a handy guidebook for a very important journey, helping your teens live a Godly life.
