Get Outta My Face!!!


Ever hear that from your teen? Maybe from your pre-teen? I have bad news and good news for you. The bad news is that if you haven't yet heard this phrase from your child, you probably will soon. The good news is that a book has been written to help you talk with teens who don't want to talk to you. The following is the Publisher's Description:

Get Outta My Face!, written for Christian parents, teachers, and youth workers, is about reaching angry, unmotivated, disinterested teens with biblical counsel. Such teens confused and insecure - are selfish; they want what they want, right now. They are corrupted by sin and this corruption is the cause of their problem. Despite all their sin problems, they are still made in the image of God, and this is the key to helping them. This book will help with addressing the teen's sin and bringing them to their God-given desires and godly actions. Far from dismissing or sugarcoating sin, this approach opens wide the door to evangelizing the unsaved teen and to helping the Christian teen grow in holiness and wisdom.

You can read the book's table of contents here and the first chapter here.

Get Outta My Face!, which retails for $13.95, is currently being sold by Westminster Bookstore for $4.88, a 65% off sale. The shipping is $3, so for $7.88 you can be educated in the art of talking with angry and frustrated teenagers. This sale will not last long. I bought a copy, so I will be able to lend it to you after I finish it if you want to read it without spending the money!
