Need encouragement? May 11, 2010
a reader (Texas)
This book puts to shame the old adage of putting teens in a barrel and nailing the lid shut. (I've actually heard that 'in jest' from pulpits...how depressing...) Not so here! Paul David Tripp encourages parents to value children as the gifts they are from the Lord especially as teens. I, too, like detailed reviews, but I gave my last copy away and cannot give any specifics. Please, however, just considering the title, see how it emphasizes the 'opportunities' available during these tumultuous teenage years. Find hope and courage in The Lord Jesus and remember that Joshua and Caleb inherited the promise land and not the other 10 who were looking at the 'giants'. Positive, empowering and completely bible-based book, buy it! I am ordering my third one now.

This book was recommended by a friend. As a believer of God's Word, this is finally a book where the author has searched God's Word and Ways to help parents shepherd and teach our teens. As parents, we are managers of what God gives us, including our children. Our first role is to obey God and then teach them to. If you are looking to be a parent that wants to please God, besides the bible itself, this is a wonderful tool.
Amazing!!! February 6, 2010

I am still in the process of reading this book, but I had to share how it has already helped me as a mom of two teens. Through this book, I have found a new way of relating to my girls and the results have been wonderful. The author has a gift of relating to and understanding teens. He does a wonderful job of sharing this gift with parents through his writing. I have read MANY books on parenting and am so tired of the books that make you feel like you have ruined your children forever if you haven't already followed their special formula for raising the perfect Christian child. I have read books that have beaten me down as a parent. It is so refreshing to read a book that is such an encouragement to parents raising teens. Paul David Tripp speaks of teens in a positive light and shares his own experiences with his teens. He shares his mistakes as well as victories. He has a way of reminding parents what it was like to be a teen & he gives parents a new understanding of this important time in a child's life. What I found most helpful in my own situation was how the author has parents examine their own hearts and states that if our hearts are controlled by something other than God, we will not view the parenting opportunities of the teen years as opportunities. We will view them as irritating hassles. He goes on to explain some typical parental idols & how they shape our responses to our teens. This was a very enlightening chapter and really made me examine my own heart. It truly explained why I was having a difficult time relating to my teens. This book not only helped me feel encouraged, it also gave me practical ideas in raising teens. It has blessed me already and I am only a little over half way through it. :) I highly recommend it to all parents. I am going to purchase more copies to give to friends as their children hit the "pre-teen" years.
Helpful for All Parents no matter what Age! January 28, 2010

Paul Tripp has provided an excellent resource for all parents, youth workers, grand parents, anyone really that deals with kids. This book provides great biblical insight into principles to use to shepherd your teenager. This book is not only useful for those with teenagers but all ages. He provides examples that all parents can relate to and how to respond in your own heart to the issue and how to address the issue in your child's heart. This book is easy to read, biblically informed and relevant to all parents no matter who your child is.

Great resource on raising teens! Loved "Shepherding a Child's Heart" when my kids were younger. This book goes right into the next phase of their development. It's helping me to see them as God's children and reminding me of my role in fulfilling His purposes!
