If you have teenagers in your home; this book is a great tool for equipping them and building a lasting relationship. It showed me ways to communicate that I had never been taught before. I highly recommend "Shepherding a Child's Heart" by Ted Tripp (author's brother) for parents of small children to read first. ( )

This is the best teen parenting book. ( )

This book has been so helpful to me. Inspired me, given a second wind in this parenting job God has given me. It has reminded me of the most important things in this job. Putting away selfishness, speaking in love, discipling, listening. Written for parents of teens, it gives ideas on how to manage the transition from teen to adult with integrity and hope. The authors promote discipling before discipline, and communication above all. ( )
