Senior Lecturer Rachel Turner’s new book

Our senior lecturer in children and family ministry, Rachel Turner, publishes her latest work 'Parenting Teens for a Life of Faith'.

This book will help all parents, carers, grandparents and others involved in teens’ everyday lives to understand the teenage faith journey more and find their place within it. 

Parenting teens has its challenges. The once-small children we had are pulling away from us, growing in independence and making decisions with bigger consequences. It can be easy to think we are less influential in their lives, particularly when it comes to faith. But that is not true. Parents remain the significant spiritual influencer in a teen’s life, and they need us to help them navigate the world and faith together. 

This book will help all parents, carers, grandparents and others involved in teens’ everyday lives to understand the teenage faith journey more and find their place within it.

We'll be looking into some of Rachel's work in this area of the coming weeks...keep watching.
