Ideally, it’s crucial to employ great parenting techniques early when Doodlebug is still learning to feed Mr. Potty. This book is for parents who didn’t get that memo and have about had it with a hardheaded, hardhearted, disengaged or just plain stupid teenager. If you have one in your family or youth ministry, this easy reader is equal parts practical tip overload and heart-to-heart encouragement, not only from the authors, but dozens of parents of south-going kids—some who came back to Christ, some who didn’t.
As the coauthor said, “We don’t offer recipes to ‘fix’ your teen. We do offer an arm around the shoulder as you learn to become a relentless parent—one who never, ever gives up.”
