The first chapters of this handbook deal with the basic reasons why many children raised in church today do not live a Christian life when they become adults, and what can be done about it. This book also covers the effects of our culture on our kids, and what we can do about that. Thirdly, this book contains a lot of practical information concerning communication with kids (including communication with teenagers), discipline of kids, and classroom management. Fundamental differences between effectively working with pre-adolescent children versus effectively working with teenagers are described in detail. Information is provided to help the parent or church worker teach and train kids about a wide range of vital topics, including sex, peer pressure, wisdom, schoolwork, finding a spouse, finances, finding a purpose in life, dealing with anger, and dealing with a culture that does not honor God. Foremost and most importantly, this book is all about helping your kids establish a strong, solid, unshakable relationship with the Living God. This handbook is for anybody who works with boys or girls. It is also for anybody working with teenagers, also known as adolescents or "youth". It is for parents and for those who work with kids but are not parents. This book is for folks with kids born yesterday, for people with kids born 20 years ago, or for anybody who thinks they might be responsible for a kid of some age at sometime in their life. This means that teenagers will benefit from this book! These young people need to see the big picture regarding how adults should relate to children and teenagers. They need to see it now, before they have children of their own. Sales of this book support the ministry of True Life Church, located in Brier Creek, North Carolina. (www.mytruelife.org)
