Current Posts 12/2/2008 12:50:37 PM Growing Up Christian Would you like to see your teen take more of an ownership in his Christian walk?  Growing Up Christian by Karl Graustein is a wonderful book to encourage your teen to realize the blessings of growing up in a home where the Lord is honored.  But, even more importantly, the book also presents a case for challenging your teen to accurately discern whether or not he has personally owned his faith in the Lord, and whether or not he is serious about growing in his faith.  The book is ideal to use in either individual teen/parent discussions or in a group context.
