Practical & To The Point

It was enjoyable and educational. Applicable to every family regardless of religious belief. Love that it is free from fluff and noise.

Great story - wish Jim would have read it.

The narrator is not wonderful. There’s something about having the author read it— they have more passion behind the work. Great content though!

So helpful

Teens are tough. Listening to the wisdom and honesty of Jim burns calmed my anxieties and affirmed that a lot of the chaos our family is experiencing is developmentally common. He also made solid suggestions of practical ideas to try that might help. The last two minutes are memorable. “Buckle up ... and enjoy the ride!” Thanks.

Too religious…

Not meaningful for non-Christians, need more practical methods for all types of teens, especially those who lost faith…God is not the answer to them.
