A Faith of Their Own

If you are the parent of a preteen, you may feel as if you are the only person in the world trying to deal with this almost-grown stranger in your home. You might describe your preteen as opinionated, sometimes defiant, seeking independence one day and totally dependent on you the next, inquisitive, and--above all--seeking to break the world record for the number of text mes-sages sent and received in one day. How, with all that is going on in the hearts and minds of preteens, can we parents help them develop A Faith of Their Own? Chris Folmsbee is an experienced youth worker, an author and speaker, and a dad. He understands that you—the parent of a preteen—is learning as you go. By encouraging, inspiring, and equipping you, Folmsbee gives you practical and realistic tools to help you accept and meet the challenge to guide your preteen into spiritual formation for the mission of God. Understanding the Common Cry of Preteens is the first piece of a three-part series designed to help you help your teen develop spiritually as he or she develops physically and mentally. The ultimate goal is to prepare you as you lead your child to conform to the image of God through Jesus Christ.
