:: Guidelines to fulfillment ::

"Keeping your kids in touch with God" is a information filled book written by Robert Laurent for parents and anyone working with youth. The author discusses many of the reasons children turn away from the church, and suggests ways to prevent this. Some of the topics include, self-esteem, peer influence, the media, parental relationships, and lack of family harmony. Many of the topics have application guidlines which could be used in non-Christian homes, making it a book useful for all families. I love the way Laurent designed the book. Using questionnaires and other research, he goes inside what teenagers today are feeling to give readers a kid's perspective of the big picture. The big picture being, why kids turn from God. This book is a very practical one. Each chapter ends with some suggestions as to how we can build our children up and towards God. The book is easy to read, using very down to earth, day-to-day examples of family life. I would recommend this book to any person who will be in contact with children whether in a family, in ministry, or in any potential relationship building environment. It gives sound advice on how to walk along side your kids and guide them towards a fulfilling lifestyle.
