This book takes a thoughtful and direct look at factors in culture, church and our own parenting which may be exacerbating anxiety and worry in today's teenagers. It manages to be both challenging but also gentle, repeatedly reminding the reader that the grace of God found in Jesus Christ is what teenagers AND parents most desperately need and where they will both find rest. I appreciated that it is not a How To book full of '10 tips for...' or 'The top Nos of...'. Instead I found it to be a book that prompts reflection, confession, relief and thankfulness that God knows and loves us and our teenagers more than we do. Having not grown up in the church, much less American church culture, I found Part 2 on how the church contributes to your teen's anxiety fascinating though harder to identify with and it is possibly less relevant to the UK reader but, once again it serves to remind us that we and our children are saved by grace through faith and not by the works of doing the right Christian thing. I highly recommend this book for the flailing parent, clutching at straws, wondering if they've left it too late and feeling frustrated that being a Christian hasn't made all of this easier! It is also a very readable book to give to an unbelieving friend who is receptive to or investigating Christian things - maybe on the fringes of church - and struggling with their teenager.
