This book is dedicated to my children, Rebecca and Andrew. They truly are the delight of my heart. As each of you have attempted to abide by the principles in this book, it has been a pleasure to see God bless and honor your commitment to him. God bless you both.
The author wishes to thank all the teenagers through the years that have opened their hearts and shared their inner feelings. The things learned through these experiences have made this book possible. I also wish to thank my wife Cyndy, who has patiently supported me as I have counseled and visited with many teens in several ministries. Further, I wish to thank the Godly men who have patiently taught me the Scripture and helped me to develop a heart focus on the Lord Jesus Christ.
In particular I want to acknowledge the profound influence of the writings and teachings of Dr. James Dobson, Bill Gothard, Josh McDowell, and Dr. Bill Murfin. These men have shaped my thinking and where ever possible, I have tried to give credit to the ideas gleaned from them. Thank you and God Bless.
