What a good book! This book takes 10 very prominent issues and breaks them down for parents both theologically and practically. I appreciated the authors' recognition of the gray in many areas, but their application of biblical principles and guidance for parents. This book was easy to read, well-written and full of useful information. Will be recommending to parents from now on!

This excellent book takes a brutally realistic approach to all the hot topics we as parents must discuss with our kids. Drugs, sex, parties, alcohol, same-sex attractions, racism, porn, suicide: the authors bravely tackle how to discuss all these issues from a Christian perspective. They don't get preachy or judgmental, however, and I appreciated this. They acknowledge that young people and adults drink, have sex outside of marriage, and have issues of all kinds. I particularly appreciated the authors' discussion of same-sex relationships. They don't tell you what to think and, instead, offer three views of how Christians might approach the issue. Each chapter offers specific advice for parents of elementary age children, tweens, and teens.
