Why
Christian Kids Rebel
by Dr. Tim Kimmel (248,8 KIM)

Do
tattoos, rap music and weird hair mean your kids are hell-bound?
Not necessarily, says Dr. Tim. But, your fear that your
once –upon-a-time toddler might walk away from the faith is based
on reality.

90 percent of evangelical children leave the church after high
school –and many never return. How can you tell the difference
between a prodigal and a teenager who is just stumbling toward
adulthood???? Dr. Tim provides some surprising
and refreshing answers in this book. He also offers
a doable plan for parents of young children to avoid having them
walk away from God in a few short years.

he finish the race? Does your mouth seem to have a mind of its
own? You are not alone! With God's help, you can take
