Synopsis "God Makes Love, Truth, and Holiness Work: Facts and Fictions for Pre-puberty Tweens in a Messed-up World (in English)"
Christian tweens before and during puberty always deal with many changes of body, mind and spirit. Conversations about these with their parents are crucial if the kids and their parents care that they grow up in Christ. Our culture can mess them up more than they realize. Sound medical science and understanding of what the Bible actually teaches can be very helpful. This book speaks directly to the kids about character, bullying, sex and the fictions our politically correct secular culture wants them to believe. It suggests many issues they should discuss with their parents. It guides parents to many Scriptures and other resources (including relevant articles and videos on the web). Helpful diagrams and sketches enrich the text. Interaction with readers on www.growingupinchrist.com and the Facebook site Growing Up In Christ (Education) enriches the learning of both kids and parents. Some chapters include topics that may not be suitable for every 8-year-old or even every 12-year-old. Parents are invited to provide guidance, based on their unique understanding of and love for their individual tweens. Parents need to be their kids primary educators on moral and spiritual matters. This book helps them start many strategic chats with their kids and gives them the medical scientific facts and theological perspectives to nurture sound biblical ethics. The Christian goal of life, pattern of life, primary and secondary motives, and power of the Christian life are concisely outlined. Many issues of Christian ethics, including non-heterosexual behaviors are clearly but gently evaluated. The text quotes and comments on many relevant Scriptures. It also quotes many specialists on various sides of debated questions. The content is framed as an email dialogue between male and female writers and a tween brother and sister, in a style that should spark such dialogue between the tweens and their parents. It includes discussions of issues that may trouble some of the kids' friends. Our God is infinitely loving, truthful and holy. He calls Christians to reflect that moral character in all they believe, say and do. This book provides fresh guidance for tweens and their parents about how that can work in our messed-up world.
