Age of Opportunity: A Biblical Guide to Parenting Teens, rev. ed.

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.

This is a heartbreaking time for teens: suicide, depression, anxiety, FOMO, the transgender movement, isolation, and hopelessness are rife, making these difficult years even harder. This makes me that much more thankful for Paul Tripp’s work in Age of Opportunity. In the wide world of books about parenting, there are only a few that don’t push a doomed prosperity gospel (“Do it our way and your kids will be great!”); Paul’s updated classic work offers the one hope for parents and teens: the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus. I’m eternally thankful for Paul and his heart to guide and encourage parents.
