Get Your Teenager Talking

Marriage, Family & Relationships

“Take note, parenting-book authors: this is how to write for today’s parents. Rather than giving us another lecture on how important it is to talk with our kids (big-time guilt trip), how about giving us some great ideas (180 or so) for starting conversations with them in a fun and natural way (big-time success!). Well played, Jon McKee!”

Healing Family Relationships

World Religions

“Rob begins this remarkable book with the comforting assurance that messy families are normal. Then with transparency and wisdom, he offers a sensible, biblical blueprint for restoration, healing, and hope. No matter how dysfunctional your family might be, this book will help you strengthen relationships with the people you love most.”

The Parent's Guide to Helping Teenagers in Crisis

Marriage, Family & Relationships

“For many years Rich and Jim have helped youth pastors and other professional caregivers come alongside hurting kids with both competence and compassion. Now they offer to parents their expertise, knowing that parents are—more often that not—in the best place possible to be the principle caregivers when their children are going through crises. The Parents Guide to Helping Teenagers in Crisis not only is an extremely well-written book, but a very important one for all parents.”

Understanding Your Teen

Marriage, Family & Relationships

“'So, even though we were all teenagers once, in a very real way we were never the age of today's teens.' That sentence is so Jim Burns. A little counterintuitive perhaps, but right on the money. Of course Jim doesn't just leave you hanging with those pithy statements. Jim applies all his experience, wisdom, and communication savvy to help you understand exactly what he means. Pretty soon you'll be quoting Jim Burns too (just like I've been doing for years). Simply put, nobody is more qualified to write a book for parents about teenagers. He's been there, done that—and he's been doing it for years. He covers key developmental issues but doesn't dwell on them or keep restating the obvious. He gets to the good stuff right away: great advice, insights, and practical how-tos for parents who want to succeed with their kids and see them grow into capable, well-adjusted, fun-to-be-around grownups.”
