How To Survive Your Teen's Pregnancy: Practical Advice for the Parents of a Pregnant Christian Single
Sometimes we see a problem through a microscope. We need a little help stepping back to get a bigger focus. I think that's what this book does. I think it's a good tool to put on our shelves, in our churches, and in the hands of our counselors so that when someone in our community is affected with teen pregnancy, the tool is right at hand. The authors take time to delve into the emotions surrounding a teen pregnancy. They help break down the walls between a hurting young person and a hurting parent. I also think this book would be a great Bible study for any outreach ministry, adult study, and church ministerial planning. Of course, it's also perfect for the parents in need of support in the midst of unplanned turmoil. --Angela Breidenbach, "God Uses Broken Vessels"<br /><br />This book limits its perspective to a daughter's unplanned pregnancy. However, it addresses family issues that may have been contributing factors along with pointers on the process of forgiveness. The most helpful section discusses when to encourage your daughter to keep the baby, when to encourage her to release for adoption and when to consider raising the child yourself. --Focus On The Family's HeartLink magazine (Nov/Dec 2004; Vol 11, #6)<br /><br />This is the most unique book on this topic I've ever had the pleasure of reviewing! "How To Survive Your Teen's Pregnancy" is far more than a how to book on dealing with your teenaged, unwed daughter's pregnancy. This is a devotional book, journal, and guide all rolled into one book. Packed with Scripture, this book gives ample room for response and encourages discussion and journaling for the parents. Linda and Lynellen Perry recognize how emotional charged this kind of situation can be, but they also know that the parents' responses are pivotal in how the daughter and the family make it through this critical time. --Deena Peterson, "A Peak At My Bookshelf"This is the most unique book on this topic I've ever had the pleasure of reviewing!
