Review # 1 was written on 2008-04-12 00:00:00 Robin Armstrong Wow! What a great book. Nothing earth shattering for me, but good honest dialogue about parenting and great tips about how to actually implement the ideas/ not just a bunch of preaching about what you are not doing. I highly recommend you read this before you have pre-teens. If they are already past that then read it anyway. I have no kids and I read it. I care enough about the kids I work around daily to find out how to help them. If you have kids of your own you should be interested enough in their success that you read this and I know you will follow at least some of the ideas if not most. I like all the helps that go along with the book as well. They are not perfect and say so, They give tips to single parents as well. I think they really want to help your family.

Review # 2 was written on 2017-11-12 00:00:00 Matthew Volmerding My wife and I have two adult children, and this book was incredibly helpful in helping them develop godly character. The best thing about it is the second part, where the Raineys write about fourteen traps that adolescents may fall into. These include dating, sex, and peer pressure. When our son was 13, he saw this book in our home, picked it up, and read some of these "trap" chapters. Each one includes convictions that teens will (prayerfully) develop in their own minds and hearts. I read through some of the convictions regarding dating and sex out loud with him, one by one, and in each case, I asked him if he agreed with it. Without fail, he responded affirmatively. My son has maintained sexual purity in his life, in large part because he decided in advance to do so with the help of this book. (My daughter has also, even though she hasn't read the book.) While having these convictions does not guarantee that your teen will live by them, they will go a long way towards him becoming a godly man (or her becoming a godly woman).
