One of our TUMI Chester mentors, Dr. Rick Horne, has published a book called, "Get Outta My Face! How to Reach Angry, Unmotivated Teens with Biblical Counsel (http://www.amazon.com/Get-Outta-Face-Rick-Horne/dp/0981540074/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1239766451&sr=8-1)". I would recommend it to anyone who ministers and works with teens. This book is for youth workers, youth pastors and also parents of teenagers.
The book is available on Amazon at the link above, and I've also attached a pdf file of the first chapter that was offered on the Westminster Bookstore website.
If anyone has a question for Rick, you can email him directly at: rhorne@dccs.org
Below is the excerpt from the back of the book and his bio. God bless.
Here's a fact.
Angry, unmotivated, and disinterested teens, whether Christian or not, are confused, insecure, and often blind to everything except what they want right now. Their desires and actions have been corrupted and polluted by sin. That's why they have a problem.
Here's another fact.
Angry, unmotivated, and disinterested teens, whether Christian or not, are made in the image of God. This means that beneath their corrupted desires and actions the image of God remains. That's the key to solving their problem.
Far from dismissing or sugar-coating sin, this approach opens wide the door to evangelizing the unsaved teen and to helping the Christian teen grow in holiness and wisdom. This book will teach you how to build a bridge to young adults on the basis of the ways in which their desires and actions reflect the image of God and the blessing of common grace.
