With honesty and humour, Ann shows how Proverbs can speak directly into real life, however messy, today.
'Under that hoodie, behind that eye make-up, there frequently lurks a human being of immense charm, affection and wit.'
Ann Benton admits that, when her children were teenagers, she enjoyed 'the very best of parenting years'. Yet, from her experience and that of others, she is well aware of the frustrations, pitfalls and difficulties that parenting teens can bring.
The Bible book of Proverbs points to wisdom as the key to health, happiness and prosperity. The author points out that the job of parents is not first and foremost to make their teens successful, but to make them wise.
With honesty and humour, Ann shows how Proverbs can speak directly into real life, however messy, today.

great to read a book based on an English view point, rather than American as other books are. Easy to read and understand and great questions at the end of each section for further thinking and exploration
It is so lovely for someone to identify what the bible has to say about our children. It was helpful to have examples. I love Ann Benton's style. I would recommend it any day.
