LifeCoach Your Teens: Five Principles to Help Your Kids Thrive

Cross, Mr. Roger

I remember one of the first times our younger daughter Amber vented her anger at me for something I did. In reality, it was something I didn't do that made her mad. She had asked me to help her with a paper she was writing for a middle school class. The paper required a lot of research, and Amber didn't know how to go about doing the research. "There's nothing to it," I assured her flippantly. Then instead of showing her what she needed to do, I simply told her to get started, explaining that she would figure out how to do the research as she went along. She let out an exasperated sigh. "But Dad, I don't know how to--" "Amber, just get started," I insisted with authority, "and you'll figure it out." Then I left the room. (from the introduction) When the author understood his mistake, he was able to go and talk with his daughter. As she vented, he began to understand what a capacity parents have to make their kids angry, and how he could change his approach to communicating with his children to improve their relationship. In the years since Roger Cross has been studying the things parents do that make kids angry, such as: 
<ul>
<li>playing favorites</li> <li>having loose or confusing boundaries</li> <li>expecting kids to fill adult roles and more</li> </ul> Drawing on his ministry of Youth for Christ along with a survey of one hundred students of varied ages and backgrounds, Roger Cross has created a practical, helpful book for parents who want to understand why their kids are so angry and what they need to do to change.

“Spiritual gifts are only for the super-spiritual.” Too many believers take this attitude and so resign themselves to second-rate Christianity, unaware that God gives every believer gifts for maximum service. What does the Bible mean by “spiritual gifts”? How and where are they to be used? How does a believer discover and develop his gifts? Is spiritual maturity a prerequisite for a spiritual gift? Are all gifts available today? Discover Your Spiritual Gist and Use It examines the relevancy—and necessity—of spiritual gifts for Christians today. It considers the gifts mentioned in the New Testament in terms of biblical meaning and contemporary ways in which they can be used. It shows that these gifts are not to be exercised only within church walls, but wherever there is need. Spiritual gifts are God’s resources for growth, Christian community, and outreach at their best. And “each one of us has received a special gift” (1 Peter 4:10 NASB).
