The best parts of this excellent and supportive book are the practical prayers in each chapter. You can go straight to God with your concerns over every area of your teen's life--from friendships to food issues, from dating to dressing, from homework to housekeeping! The author is an experienced parent of teens, making this book a must for any parent who has ever hrown up his or her hands in despair. Not ony will you receive helpful answers but spiritual comfort and counsel, as well.
Witty, Wise and Wonderful!

If you find parenting a challenge, you'll value the ease of reading Janet Holm McHenry's great book, Prayer Changes Teens. Janet makes it easy to build new habits of prayer by offering anecdotes, specific prayers, scripture, and great thought questions on a wide variety of topics that face our teens and that are often in our faces as well! Too many of us want to control our teens (where do we ever get the idea that we can really do this!?!)when the truest and best control is in our Father's hands. Repeatedly and with humor, Janet reminds us to entrust our children to God's care, and then to pray with the confidence that God is meeting their needs in alignment with his will for their lives. Prayer Changes Teens serves as a reminder to pray, as a confidence builder for effective prayer, and as an encouragement that through prayer, God's will is done.
Real and practical help for parents of teens!

PRAYER CHANGES TEENS has humor, real stories, sample prayers, and practical ideas. It is true encouragement for parents and covers the gamet of issues in raising teens today. I highly recommend this book both for its content and well written style.
It is an excellent investment for parents wanting to understand their teen and improve the in-home relationship.
The book would also be a great small group study book or resource for youth ministers.
