Book Description
WHAT'S HAPPENING TO PARENT'S RELATIONSHIPS WITH THEIR KIDS? To find out, the author interviewed hundreds of parents for their opinions. Many felt that they were losing their children; some thought they'd already lost them; some say they didn't care. But in interviews, it became obvious that they care, very much, and that frustration about their children's futures in this topsy-turvy world has made them feel powerless. The author wrote this book to find out if the bond is truly rupturing and, if so, what parents can do about it. While uncovering data for the book, she came to know great educators, teachers, psychologists, as well as wise parents. She contacted Sixty Minutes, Nova, numerous Internet sources, and learned texts. The opinions of many of these experts as well as parents' comments are included in this book. The author found that most psychologists are competent, caring people, ready to help needy clients. But many appeared badly trained or still echo the theories of Freud and Erickson and others who criticized parents for their children's problems. Many mothers and fathers feel these criticisms have been unwarranted and unfair. This book will show that parents are far wiser and more competent than they think.

Book Description
I found this book on Bookbub, and am thrilled with what I've read. I wish every Christian would read it--especially every pastor and leader. My husband (who is a pastor) and I had already come to these conclusions before I found this book, but it gives me great hope that others are seeing the same disastrous problems. We have created a "monster" that we call "church" which little resembles the New Testament kind, and people are fleeing it. For all the promise of the "contemporary" style church, it isn't really much better. The church is failing to make disciples and failing to make any real impact in the culture, and it's all because we have failed to make authentic (true) converts. It's that simple. It's easy to make a disciple of someone who has been truly converted. Otherwise, with our usual crop of "decisions," it's like pushing a rope to get any serious commitment or Christlikeness out of them. The Bible says that Jesus is the Door, but to be brutally honest, the only way through that Door is to crawl--in repentance, submission (brokenness), and faith. We are no different than the church of the Middle Ages that baptized babies for salvation, leaving millions of people still in their sins. There isn't really any such thing as "a church for the unchurched" as many like to claim today. We should be the church of the redeemed, but we have become a church of the unsubmissive, unrepentant, unconverted, uncommitted, and unfaithful. And it all goes back to one thing--real salvation thru real repentance and real faith in Jesus Christ."-M.J. Freeman ..". thought provoking book showing true believers in Jesus Christ the need to examine the methods we are using to evangelize our children... the author backs up all of her writing with scripture, the true Word of God." -Alicia Canner " ...Wow what an eye opener, it opened my eyes to the real meaning of being born again. Not only a book to help with the youth but for everyone..."-Malinda Zemrose As Christian women, there is probably nothing more heartbreaking than seeing our children turn from God. We spend thousands of dollars, and sacrifice countless hours to VBS, Bible clubs, Youth outings, Church camp, and children's parties every year. We build elaborate stage sets, plan fantastic carnivals, and youth extravaganzas and bus in all the children and teens we can find in the hopes of leading them to Christ; and yet we are still losing them. We see the grown-up children, the "fruits" of our outreaches, living as practical Atheists. They walk and talk and act like the world, even loving the world, and though they claim to be saved, evidence of life in Christ is conspicuously absent. Even our own children are abandoning the faith. They have asked Jesus into their hearts and yet we see them turn from God at staggering rates. Statistics show that no less than half have turned from God by High School age and closer to two thirds by the time they finish college. What we're doing is just not working! In Why Are We Losing the Kids? You'll see where we have gone wrong and where to go from here. - We can turn the tide on our failing ministry efforts! - We can share the gospel without creating false converts or backsliders! - We can keep the kids if we'll follow God's plan! The Bible has the answers if we're willing to hear them!

Book Description
In this New York Times bestseller, one of America’s premier physicians offers a must-read account of the new challenges facing parents today and a program for how we can better prepare our children to navigate the obstacles they face In The Collapse of Parenting, internationally acclaimed author Leonard Sax argues that rising levels of obesity, depression, and anxiety among young people can be traced to parents abdicating their authority. The result is children who have no standard of right and wrong, who lack discipline, and who look to their peers and the Internet for direction. Sax shows how parents must reassert their authority - by limiting time with screens, by encouraging better habits at the dinner table, and by teaching humility and perspective - to renew their relationships with their children. Drawing on nearly thirty years of experience as a family physician and psychologist, along with hundreds of interviews with children, parents, and teachers, Sax offers a blueprint parents can use to help their children thrive in an increasingly complicated world.

Book Description
Are We Winning or Are We Losing? By: Rev. Ernest Gillespie III Born in Memphis, Tennessee, in 1954, the same year as the Brown v. Board of Ed decision, Rev. Ernest Gillespie III has witnessed its unintentionally disastrous effects firsthand. In Are We Winning or Are We Losing? he asks whether or not desegregation was really a win: with it came the busing programs that destroyed Black communities and helped shepherd the Black youth away from the church. “The worst thing that can destroy a nation of people is when the people forget the past and how important the past was for them,” Rev. Gillespie writes. This book looks at that past and wonders: Are We Winning or Are We Losing?

Book Description
We all want other people to like us and think well of us. But when we depend on the praise, admiration, or appreciation of others for our sense of self-worth, we become trapped in an exhausting and debilitating cycle of people-pleasing relationships where we always give and rarely receive. The most common advice we hear--Start putting your own needs first!-- doesn't work, because we do love helping other people! Thankfully, the solution to the people pleaser's "problem" isn't to fundamentally change who you are--it's to fundamentally change where you find your worth. In this freeing book, Dr. Mike Bechtle shows you stop letting your fears of rejection, criticism, invisibility, or inadequacy drive your actions and start rebuilding your sense of self-worth from the inside out. When you do, you'll discover that what you once thought of as a struggle is actually a strength.
