If you have a burning desire to see your teens at peace with God and yourself, and you know you don't have all the answers, you may find the key in this helpful book. Because Tedd and Paul Tripp are brothers there is some overlap between Shepherding a Child's Heart and Age of Opportunity. However, there seems to be more and more of a need for solid, Biblical advice to address issues that are specific to teenagers, and that is where Age of Opportunity excels. Paul Tripp is refreshingly real so you never feel that he is preaching at you, and is so practical you can immediately apply the principles taught. If you or a loved one has a teen that is engaged in spiritually destructive behavior, the knowledge gained here could enable you to help that child turn toward godly living.

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, and compassion, Paul Tripp shows parents how to seize opportunities to deepen communication, learn, and grow with their teenagers.
