Age of Opportunity

Age of Opportunity
By Paul David Tripp

The teenage years often present difficulty for parents.  They are viewed as a chaotic period to be survived.  Teenagers are portrayed as objects that need to be controlled and restrained.  This view is wholly unbiblical.  In Age of Opportunity, Paul David Tripp reveals what Scripture has to say about parenting.  Instead of trying to control behavior, God gives us the opportunity to expose our child’s heart.  You don’t have to fear this stage of life.  This book will give you biblical wisdom and goals to enjoy and make the most of these teenage years.

The Life of God

The Life of God in the Soul of Man
by Henry Scougal c1650

“There are some books whose vision is so deep and clear that truth rings from the page like the toll of a large bell, perfectly obvious, but rare and precious.  They unfold the heart of man and God with such forceful illumination that the truth is not just shown to my mind but created in my heart…so it went as I grazed in the green pasture of this remarkable book.”  John Piper.  Check it out!
