Great for Jr. High kids

Ken Davis has a very good sense of humor that helps us look at our everyday problems and situations and he gives us ideas on how to make the best of it. I used it for our Jr. High Bible class and it was a good conversation starter and problem solver.

How to keep your sanity while preserving your kids'

This is a great book for any youth leader. It provides sensative and thoughtful insight into how hard it is for teenagers growing up in today's world. All too often, adults forget that they, too, were once teenagers. This book uses sound Biblical references in trying to show teenagers that they are: 1) not alone, 2) their parents DO love them and 3) their parents are not out to get them!I am using this book for an 8-week Bible study with 9-12 graders at my church for Sunday School. They found the 2nd chapter about the inside of your parents' minds hilarious and helpful. Yes, they DO believe there is a microchip in their parents' brains that is programmed to ruin their lives and their fun! The chapter on sibling relationships is equally well-done.I think this book is providing good food for thought for my kids about how to survive in their families and make a difference, not only in their families, but in the world as young disciples of the Risen Lord.
