Engaging Your Teen's World: Become a Culturally Savvy Parent
by Brian Housman
When it comes to relating to their teen, parents often feel tension and confusion. They get angry and blame the culture for the problems in their family. They make decisions for their teens out of fear, trying to protect them and shelter them from “the world.” Engaging Your Teen’s World offers a refreshing perspective on guiding teens with a more balanced approach.
This book brings parents face to face with unhealthy responses to the culture, such as developing an “us vs. them” mentality. It invites parents to move toward their teen’s world, becoming a redemptive influence in every aspect of their teen's life. Ultimately, this conversational book guides parents and teens to work as a family, redeeming the culture through genuine love and selfless service.

What Others Have Said

"No one has done a better job than Brian Housman of helping parents think carefully about the culture their teenage children live in. Brian is clearly in touch with teen culture. He shows parents how to turn their hearts toward the hearts of their teenagers so they can respond to the culture together rather than as adversaries. Busy parents only have time for a few key books on parents and Engaging Your Teen's World should be one of them."

“Brian Housman has done an excellent job navigating the pop culture that surrounds all of us. Instead or running from culture, he invites us to explore it in a way that enables us to find beauty and truth. Readers will be enriched and enlightened. This book challenges preconceived notions, brings fresh insights, and is a treasure chest of practical ideas.”

| “We live in a world where many parents are
engaged in anything and
everything except the lives of their children. Brian hits
home with
great clarity for all who would journey through the pages of
this book.
Read, listen, digest and put into practice the principles
Brian has here
and your relationship with your teen just may become what you
never dreamed
was possible.”
Ryan Fontenot

"We have spent way too much time protecting our children and not enough time intentionally preparing them to engage the culture and make an eternal difference. Brian has written a resource for parents that should be a ‘must read’! There is a world to reach—let it begin with us and our teens.”
Donna Gaines
Author, There’s Gotta Be More! |
“Instead of avoiding the issues, Brian
helps parents engage the
issues with eyes wide open. Whether you’re a Christian, Jew,
Muslim, or
agnostic this is an excellent book that can benefit all.”
Judith Sachs
Editor, ParentingTeensOnline |
“Recommended to anyone
looking for a guide to connect with and empower
teens. Brian’s message is profound in it’s simplicity. As we
walk
through life honoring others and ourselves, we also honor
God.”
