Age of Opportunity: A Biblical Guide to Parenting Teens

For a parent, the teen years are years of unprecedented opportunity—years of penetrating questions and exciting new discussions, years that open the door to a teen’s heart.

In this wise and hopeful book, Paul Tripp shows parents how to connect with their children as never before, drawing on practical strategies shaped by God’s Word. This new edition features fresh, heart-focused discussion questions for each chapter as well as a bonus Q&A section.

"Age of Opportunity has had a tremendous impact on my parenting, so I'm incredibly excited about this new, updated version. Paul has so helpfully applied his understanding of the gospel and the human heart to our personal walk with Jesus, our marriages, and our ministries--I am excited to see his application of the gospel to the parenting of teens made accessible to a new generation. Age of Opportunity avoids a formulaic how-to approach to rearing children and instead shows how to apply the gospel to the unique spiritual struggles of your child's heart. For many parents, the teen years feel like a wilderness. This book will give you a compass to guide you. Though I have read dozens of parenting books, two or three have profoundly reshaped my whole approach. Age of Opportunity is one of those. You'll love it and pass it to a friend."
