InterVarsity Press, 2008, 196 pp., $12.00, www.ivpress.com
Youth and family ministry guru Wayne Rice has compiled 101 of the most frequently asked questions at his parenting seminars. With veterans Duffy Robbins, Marv Penner, Mark DeVries and others, each question is answered in a concise, thoughtful and hopeful manner to encourage parents. Questions are grouped by topics, including family and home life, emotions, communication, dating and sexuality, friends, behavior and discipline, drugs and alcohol, appearance, entertainment, technology, school, values and faith, money and nontraditional families.
This is a great gift for youth workers to give parents and a valuable resource for youth workers in navigating those awkward conversations with parents about—well—almost anything. Adolescence is rough on kids and parents. This book can help smooth out some of those rough spots.
