Religion For Teens

Perhaps you have already done everything you know to do—you have talked with them at length, applied consequences, asked others for help, and prayed desperately, but still you see no change in your child’s life or choices. Barbara Miller Juliani draws from her own experience of rebellion and also from decades of ministry to families to encourage weary parents that they can lean hard into the Lord for help in this difficult season.

Is following Jesus worth it? Chris Morphew wants to show you why it absolutely is. However good you think the good news of Jesus is, it’s better.
