Disarming the Teenage Heart Helping Teens Navigate Today's Cultural Minefields

Today's teens are bombarded with messages--messages that suggest that their success in life depends on how closely they take to heart the Four B's: beauty, brawn, bank accounts, and brains. As a result, teens sometimes wage war within themselves--and often with others--in a 'survival of the fittest' contest. "Winners" get the worldly goods of popularity, position, pleasure, and pride. "Losers" find ways to level the playing fields, sometimes with deadly force. Disarming the Teenage Heart will teach you how to help teens replace lies, anger, fear and pain with God's Four C's of Inner Power: conscience, character, courage, and compassion. Armed with these virtues, teens can overcome the destructive forces around them and take their rightful place among today's heroes. every parent, teacher, youth worker, pastor, and friend of a teen will value the inspirational stories and practical, biblical instruction in Disarming the Teenage Heart.
