¿Por qué los adolescentes no querrían crecer? Con esta interrogante la destacada psicóloga Pilar Sordo abre un debate cuyas respuestas deben ser buscadas por los adultos a partir de la reflexión sobre el tipo de testimonio que estamos siendo para nuestros hijos. No quiero crecer es una invitación a cuestionarnos sobre cómo los padres estamos manejando el crecimiento de nuestros hijos en un contexto donde tratamos de tenerles todo lo que necesitan, que no es lo que ellos de verdad nos están pidiendo: más afecto, caricias, límites, un mundo más seguro por el cual transitar. Este libro recorre a lo largo de la vida de los jóvenes ?desde los nueve hasta los treinta años? observando los conflictos principales de cada una de estas etapas, los desafíos que hoy día estas fases traen incorporadas y hacia dónde los padres tienen que apuntar los sueños de sus hijos para que ellos se puedan desarrollar en plenitud. Esa es nuestra gran responsabilidad como adultos: transformar la vida de los niños y dejarlos siendo buenas personas para cuando nosotros ya no estemos.

Chris Kugler presents a thorough exploration of "personal eschatology," addressing the complex theological and biblical questions about the eternal fate of human beings. While Scripture suggests the possibility of eternal loss, Kugler argues that its most relevant texts are less definitive than commonly thought. Kugler contends that a nuanced picture is called for when one considers how theology uses the Bible to develop doctrine. He presents the problems, possibilities, and prospects of the three major views on personal eschatology: damnationism, annihilationism, and universalism.

As parents begin to notice the significant changes that come with adolescence (physical changes brought about by puberty, the constant angst and moodiness, and of course the classic eye-rolling and the I-know-it-all attitude), they wonder just what happened to their happy, sweet, and affectionate young boy or girl.
