"Lauren and I first read Age of Opportunity almost fifteen years ago, and it served as a foundation for how we have tried to parent. Through the peaks and valleys of raising our three kids, we came back to this resource several times. I couldn’t be more excited about this revised and expanded version."

Matt Chandler

Lead Pastor, The Village Church
Author

"Age of Opportunity avoids a formulaic how-to approach to rearing children and instead shows how to apply the gospel to the unique spiritual struggles of your child’s heart. . . . Though I have read dozens of parenting books, two or three have profoundly reshaped my whole approach. Age of Opportunity is one of those."

J.D. Greear

Pastor, The Summit Church, Raleigh, North Carolina

"We need this fundamentally hopeful book about parenting teens. The hope in this book is not grounded in practical helps—although Tripp offers many. The hope in this book is not distant from the battles; it shines in the dark. The hope is grounded in the God who sent his Son to save us. Parents of teens, take up and read—and hope!"

Kathleen Nielson

Author, Prayers of a Parent Series; Speaker

"Age of Opportunity is a marvel. It brims with fresh, rich, honest truth. Tripp will get you looking in the mirror before you go looking at your teen. He'll get you seeking-and finding-your own Father's help."

David Powlison

counselor, Christian Counseling and Educational Foundation (CCEF); editor, Journal of Biblical Counseling.

"Age of Opportunity is a wealth of biblical wisdom and a treasure of practical steps for understanding and shepherding your teen's heart."

Ted Tripp
