– Equips parents with the grace and biblical tools they need to handle tough questions and awkward conversations
– Encourages parents and teens to maintain open communication and not shy away from hard topics
– Helps build trust that lasts a lifetime
There are things we absolutely need to talk to our teens about, but what we say, how we say it, and when we say it make all the difference between helping them embrace truth and become the person God designed them to be–or driving them away. Will they listen? How will they take it? These are legitimate worries that can keep us from saying anything–or have us second-guessing everything we did say.
What to Say and How to Say It to Your Teen is your field manual to clear, compassionate communication with the son or daughter who no longer thinks you have all the answers–even though they have more questions than ever, like:
– Why can’t I have my phone in my room at night?
– Why do I have to go to church?
– How can God allow bad things to happen?
– What can I do about the anxiety or depression I’m feeling?
– Why can’t I just date for fun?
– Why do I have to get a job?
– Why does it matter who I hang out with?From shifting views on gender to questioning faith to struggling with honesty or respect or porn, the teen years are tough. They’re also some of the most important years for you to offer guidance. This book will help you handle 30 of the trickiest conversations you need to have with your teen.

As a children’s pastor and father of four, Chris Ammen has experienced your frustration firsthand and understands that most parents feel inadequate for the task.

Truth #1: You are not the lynchpin of your child’s journey of discipleship. God is.

Parent Differently : Raise Kids With Biblical Character That Changes Cultur
$14.99Most parents misguidedly prioritize behavior. The why and how to instill character.
Behavior modification does not guarantee good character qualities. Character influences decisions. It’s evidenced in our speech, actions, and attitudes. It’s about who we are and what we do. The world competes for the hearts of our kids–and we see its negative impact in their pride, laziness, and entitlement. As Christians, however, we want to see the character of Jesus Christ in our children. Dads and moms, grandparents, and teachers all want to see their children grow in humility, gratitude, and respect–for others and themselves. We want our kids to be brave, compassionate, and joyful. We don’t want our kids to flounder through life. We want them to flourish and live into their God-given designs and callings. Dr. Kathy Koch helps us to that end by answering essential questions:
*What is character and why does it matter?
*Why is there a crisis of character?
*What are the challenges in developing character?
*How can we teach or improve character?Not only does character help us accomplish our goals, there are many other benefits of mature character: we will be blessed, stand out for Jesus, attract good friends, grow in wisdom, and live in freedom.
Koch provides an invaluable resource for shepherding our children in godly character.

So How Do I Parent This Child
$15.99Parents don’t determine who their kids become. They steward them into who they’re meant to be.
One of the most common myths in parenting books-you see it everywhere-is that parents are responsible for who their children turn out to be. Proper input yields proper output, or so the thinking goes. But that mindset works with machinery, not people. The truth is, your child has a unique set of traits-their giftedness-that only they possess. The parent’s job isn’t to crank out a product, but to point an individual human being toward a healthy, flourishing life.
In So How Do I Parent This Child?, brother and sister duo Bill Hendricks and Bev Hendricks Godby team up to help you understand the difference between producing a product and parenting a person. They take you through all the stages of child rearing-from diapers to driver’s licenses to diplomas-to give you a comprehensive look at how identifying giftedness and helping your children discover it for themselves makes all the difference.
As a parent, you’ve got a lot of challenges ahead. But with intentionality and an individualized approach, you’ll see your kids grow up to become the mature and confident adults that they’re intended to be.
