Age of Opportunity – Book
Description: Teenage hassles that disrupt parents’ lives? Or prime opportunity to connect with, listen to, and nurture our kids? From the argument over the last donut, to the cry of “nothing to wear,” Paul Tripp uncovers the heart issues affecting parents and their teenagers during the often chaotic adolescent years. With wit, wisdom, humility, and compassion, he shows parents how to seize the countless opportunities to deepen communication, learn, and grow with their teenagers. The teenage years are often viewed by parents as a period to be survived. This book departs from that mentality and describes these tumultuous years as years of boundless possibilities and promise.
The Purity Challenge – Book and online study
“Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.” These powerful words from Jesus are the goal of Purity Challenge. As you work through this book you will be directly in the area of sexual purity; but don’t lose sight of this great promise found in Matthew 5:8. Seeing God is the point! The prerequisite for seeing God is being pure in heart, and the only way for that to happen is for you to become increasingly captivated by Jesus Christ above all other pleasures. Set up as purity lessons for each day for thirty days.
Addiction-Proof PARENTING
No one can predict if a child will grow up to be an “addict” of some kind. No one has discovered an “addiction gene”, and there is no compelling evidence linking addiction to a brain disease or disorder. A child becomes addicted by personal choices and is 100% responsible for the first choice to abuse an addictive substance. Still, however, parenting skills – or a lack of them! – have a huge impact on our children, and particularly in these specific areas. This book is for serious parents who will invest time in training their children. What could possibly be more important in this dangerous world?”
