Seems like the more news about kids killing other kids hits our TVs and newspapers, the less the so-called experts are able to explain it all away. This book, and Dr.Linda finally make sense. There are reasons why this is all happening, and there are solutions. I liked especially the section on how to protect your kids through interaction with the public school officials, but mostly through involved parents. Since Columbine last year, what Dr.Linda observes about school violence has been confirmed over and over. Amazing understanding.

As a Pastor I find Dr. Mintle's approach to a very complex issue both refreshing and insightful. She has a good balance of Scriptures in dealing with difficult issues facing all those who work with young people today, there is something in this book for Pastors, educators, School officials, and parents alike. A must read!

It terrifies me to think that my child could be a victim or, God forbid, be the one commiting one of these terrible acts.This is the first book that I have found that gives difinitave answers and comprehensive training for me to be able to understand and deal with violence with my teenager.
