Why Christian Kids Rebel: Trading Heartache for Hope

(Softcover)

Dr. Tim Kimmel

Do tattoos, rap music, multiple piercings, and weird hair mean your kids are hell-bound? Not necessarily, says Dr. Tim Kimmel. But your fear that your once-upon-a-time toddler might walk away from the faith is based on reality. Nearly 90 percent of evangelical children leave the church after high school.

How then can a parent tell the difference between a prodigal and a teenager who is just stumbling toward adulthood? Dr. Tim Kimmel provides some surprising and refreshing answers in Why Christian Kids Rebel.

Poor choices in movies, music, and companions-even immodest clothing and body piercing-could simply show that your teens are making decisions for themselves, a healthy step forward. Truly rebellious kids block God from their lives and push away family affection. They are obstinate, aloof, lazy, stubborn, moody, and argumentative. And proud of it. If your son or daughter fits that mold, forcing them to attend Sunday School or family devotions won't help. Even memorizing the entire Bible won't save them. So, what will?

Why Christian Kids Rebel gives the answers you're searching for and provides help for building bridges to wayward children. And even better, it offers a doable plan for parents of young children who want to avoid having them walk away from God in a few short years.
