Written out of experience, this book speaks to parents of pre-teens and teens.  In Chapter 1 the author looks at ten common challenges which parents of teens face.  The remaining chapters deal with these problems one at a time. It  is an encouraging book because parents see that other caring, Christian parents have problems with their children as they move into the adolescent years.    Some of the emotions parents feel are fear, frustration, guilt, loneliness, confusion and the tormenting question of AWhat if?@ 

As the reader goes from chapter to  chapter there is a comforting support - the example of others who have shared the impossible injury and found it possible to work through the experience.  The presence and comfort of a close relationship with God gives the assurance each of us needs.  Read And Then I Had Teenagers, share it with friends, and enjoy your teenagers.
