This revised and updated edition of The Fight of Your Life features a new title, refreshed design, and 70% new content. From every side--the Internet, social media, interactions with friends, in both their public and private lives--teens are persuaded to follow the world's way over God's every day. Culture's mantra "live for today" has become the slogan of this generation! But, one thing remains true--mom and dad are still the greatest influence in the life of their child. Based on timeless biblical truths, Raising Successful Teens equips parents with positive, encouraging, and practical advice. A family and teen culture expert with more than 25 years of ministry experience, Jeffrey Dean gives parents the street-level approach they need to help their teens wisely and safely navigate technology, friendships, dating relationships, social media, and more. Parents will learn how to keep the lines of communication open and stay involved in their teens' lives.

Abiola means "Born into Honor." Abiola is very intelligent boy whose parents have taught him many great things about his African ancestry in the areas of inventions, pioneers, science, and technology. Abiola begins to realize that very little, if any, of the information about his ancestors is being used in the public school curriculum. Abiola discusses the situation with his parents who show him how to research in different areas. Abiola then shares this information with his friends and teachers, and they all become excited, especially Abiola because he is anxious to learn more about his ancestor's contribution to the world.

What Do You Call Cheese that Isn’t Yours? One-liners. The jokes are known for little more than eliciting a groan or two from you. But since Jeffery Dean came up with this handy booklet for teens, one-liners have become a handy tool. These quotes, questions, and statements will cut to the chase and spark the, “Hmmm…I never thought of that before!” section of your gray matter. Some are funny, some are convicting. Each is thought-provoking. Bring a little simplicity back to your complicated life. Don’t expect the world’s problems to be solved or all of your personal troubles to immediately go away. But do look for plenty of food for thought about what really matters. By the way, the cheese that doesn’t belong to you? It’s nacho cheese. (A cheesier one-liner than anything you’ll find in this book.) Think. Do you live life looking back or looking forward? But not too hard. God has your name tattooed on His heart. Tattoos are permanent. Funny and deep. Surprising and smart. One-liners to put you on top of your day. “Jeffrey Dean has a way of zeroing in on today’s youth culture. He knows teens and how to communicate the love of Jesus to them in a way that captures their attention and convicts their hearts.” -Josh McDowell

Christian parents today feel replaced as the primary influence in their teen’s lives--undermined at school, invaded by the web, and in the dark about what’s really going on. Truth is, says teen expert Jeffrey Dean, parents don’t know the half of it! In The Fight of Your Life, Dean offers a frank, solutions-oriented plan for parents who want to protect their teens from dangerous choices and guide them toward God’s best–and are ready to fight to make it happen. First Dean gives parents a shocking but invaluable inside view of what teens are up against. Then he helps parents discover their irreplaceable role in their kids’ success. Along the way he tackles hot button issues--sex, partying, porn, cheating and eating disorders--and coaches parents on how to protect and grow a healthy relationship with their teens. Packed with hope and solid Bible teaching, The Fight of Your Life gives parents the tools they need to help their teens discover their exciting futures as passionate Christ followers and positive, world-changing adults.
