REVIEWS for How Not To Lose Your Teen: Raising Kids Who Love God and You Too!
“From the first page, readers are swept into a world which is as familiar as it is frightening. Fueled by vivid metaphors and anecdotes, Cottrell takes readers on an adventurous journey through the joys, frustrations, hopes, and worst-case fears of parenthood. Along the way, she establishes an intimate relationship with her audience by sharing her insecurities, doubts, and failures. She’s as eager to learn from her own faults and mistakes as she is to confess them to others (so that they TOO can learn from them). The journey from here to there is plagued by enough wrong-turns, missed landmarks, and dead-ends to convince even the most discouraged of parents that it IS possible to go off course time and again without destroying the sacred bond between that compass residing within their hearts and the best interests of their children.” – Linda Thorlakson, NaNoWriMo
“The floodgates of my heart burst open after reading this book and I feel I have found a ‘comrade’ in this great adventure of parenting! This book has helped me not only as a parent but also as a wounded child. I feel healing in her words and the confidence that I don’t have to be the same as my parents. Through God’s strength, direction and guidance, my husband and I can break the chain of abuse and dysfunction that occurred in our childhood.” – Denise Cromer, Women’s Ministry Leader
“This is the best treatise on parenting I’ve ever read, and I read a lot. Susan pours her heart and soul onto her relationships as well as her work. This is a must-read book for parents who desire an intimate, fulfilling, abundant and heart-connected relationship with their children.” – Lori Berkman, Professional Life Coach, Legacy Life Coaching LLC
