Hope for those faced with what may seem a hopeless situation

The two authors of Parents Guide ..., have a knowledge of teen, families and the subjects this book covers in depth.The first 1/4th of this book discusses dysfunctional families and how family life has changed over the years. Insightfully written, the reader is made aware of the risks faced by the family unit nowdays. Topics covered in the middle 2/4th of this book are: sex, substance abuse, suicide, satanism, homosexuality, aids, pornography, runaways, and eating disorders. Each chapeter gives personal experiences of teens, well documented stitistical information about the subject, and what can be done as a parent for their teen. The last 1/4 of this book provides some well grounded, useful advise for parents in dealing with these situations. I finished this book feeling, not overwhelmed at the vastness of the problem, but, feeling like there was an answer. "Hope for parents who think they've failed" gave real spiritual insight and comfort; knowing it is never hopeless. An exceptionally well written book, useful not just for parents, but, for people who counsel parents and youth.
