Why Christian Kids Rebel: Trading Heartache for Hope

Author of Grace-Based Parenting and the best-selling Little House on the Freeway,?Dr. Tim Kimmel?helps Christian parents avoid the potential problems their well-meaning parenting styles could create.? This book offers a new way to look at the ideal Christian home and shows why cocoon-style Christian homes don't always work.

Many parents have done it all when it comes to the checklist of good Christian parenting, only to see their son or daughter step away from their belief system and embrace other lifestyle choices.

Dr. Kimmel helps to increase the chances that your children will develop a vibrant faith early in life and stick with it on into adulthood. It will also provide help and hope for those already dealing with a rebellious teen and teach them how to lead the child back into a walk of faith.

Read the book

I find it interesting that the 3 negative reviewers of this book are not interested in having children maintain their Christian principles. I'd venture to guess that none of them read the book either.I don't have teenagers yet, but will in a couple years. I found the book very well written and...

A must have book for every Christian family !!!

I picked up this book looking for answers as to why my teen was walking away from her faith and what to do about it. This book offers some fresh insights as to why some kids do rebel when we have done everything possible to prevent it and that is exactly where the problem may be. It offers hope...

Analyzing your Parenting

This is not about tattoos and rock and roll and controlling your child (like others have assumed), but about what you can do as a parent to help your child not turn away from the Christian faith they have been raised in (rebel). It might surprise you that Dr. Kimmel actually encourages you to...

Can't I give it 10 Stars?

Obviously, those who rated this book low, based on their comments, did not read the book. This book has very, very, very few words about how to "raise" our children. It will, however, cause the parent reader some uncomfortable moments as Dr. Kimmel shatters the standard American Christian ideas...

Excellent book for every Christian parent

As a Christian parent I often feel intimidated by the task of passing my faith on to my children. I picked up this book from our church book table and am so glad that I did.It was not so much about rebellion, as about how to raise your children to NOT see rebellion as an attractive option. What...

Dr. Kimmel's book helped me understand a great deal of my own teenage rebellion years ago. I know that I am ultimately responsible. However, it comforted me to know why I was frustrated as a teenager and why I rebelled against my Christian faith for several years.This book covers the different...

Absurd, irrational, insane, and vomit-worthy

I would like to know what this author is a "doctor" of? I find it somewhat surprising that someone can go through that much schooling without once encountering information which completely counters the absurd beliefs he holds. Rebellion is about releasing humanity from the clutches of social...

Hilarious

As A high school teacher by day and a college professor by night, I find it quite funny that the cover of this book is intended to depict a "rebel teenager" when infact the boy pictured looks more "normal" than almost any teenager I know. Get a grip folks. Teenagers are teenagers, let them do...

Raising spiritually strong kids, not spiritually safe kids

Having read this book (unlike another reviewer), I found it to be convicting to me as a Christian parent as well as inspiring. He gives the 8 reasons that kids rebel and does talk about rebellion but a large part of his focus is on the Christian parent. His 5 chapters on flawed Christianity...
