5 Stars A Textbook that I will keep
This is the first book that I have gotten for a class that seriously made me say “Sweet!” I will keep this book and use it as a become a Youth Minister
5 Stars One fo the Best!
Helping the Struggling Adolescent is one of the best resource books on my shelf. While I am sure not everyone will agree with Dr. Parrott’s conclusions or methods, this is one of the best books on helping teens through some of the most difficult issues in life. If you are looking for a book that you can pull off your shelf in a crisis to help you get some footing with what to do next, this is the book for you!
5 Stars Very Helpful & Informative Book
Great book, each chapter has a similar outline so you are not confused when going to new chapters about where a particular item may be.
1 Star no, thanks
This book is very,very Christian. I was expecting something far less so. In fact, I want to get rid of it because it mentions God and Jesus and so forth at least every other page. This book is a stinker! (no-I am not an a godless heathen)!
5 Stars A must have for anyone working with youth!
I have been in youth ministry for nine years and this is the best comprehensive book I have for youth in crisis. It deals with every imaganable problem young people are facing and uses sound biblical, theological and sosiological information on how best to help as a youth pastor or youth leader.
As a matter of fact I don’t even know where the text is right now because it is in such high demand from my youth sponsors.
Helping Stuggling Adolescents uses many tools to help the reader get into the mind of the struggling teen. One example is it uses case studies. It also has test that can be used in assessing problem situations.
In my view this is a must buy for any new youth pastor and an important tool in anyone’s hand who works with youth in a Christian enviornment.
