Description

Holding a family together when it seems the world is falling apart is the challenge faced by parents of today’s teens. Their children face a level of evil in their everyday world that their parents can’t imagine, don’t understand and often misjudge. When the cultural divide threatens to invade a family it is easy for parents to feel lost and alone, and without a plan to survive. Parents don’t know to intervene effectively when their teen spins out of control. Fortunately, teen-expert Mark Gregston understands the affects of today’s confusing culture on teens and offers the right kind of help in his newest book, Parenting Teens in a Confusing Culture. Mark answers 32 tough questions asked by parents of teenagers, with his usual wit and the biblical wisdom of the ages. His ongoing ministry to teens and their families spans more than thirty years and when he writes about how to address problems with teens, he knows what he’s talking about. Parenting Teens in a Confusing Culture helps parents better understand the forces behind the issues their teens face, like -teenage drinking -experimenting with drugs -problems at school -gender identity and same sex relationships -social abuse -immaturity -rebellion -entitlement -teenage anger -Internet influences -Disobedience, disrespect, dishonesty There is no better resource for Christian parents trying to successfully navigate today’s cultural minefields than Parenting Teens in a Confusing Culture. The compassionate wisdom found in this book makes it a must-read for every parent, grandparent, counselor or those involved with directing a teen or pre-teen’s path through this confusing world.
