“Words Kids Need to Hear: To Help them to be Who God Made them To Be”

That’s a new book by David Staal, my friend and head of children’s ministry at Willow Creek Community Church in South Barrington.

This is a little book with big ideas - Daviud says there are seven statements kids need to hear, audibly or otherwise, from their parents:

I believe in you
You can count on me
I treasure you
I’m sorry, please forgive me
Because
No
I love you

David will be a guest on my radio show tomorrow, but I wanted to let you know about his new book, out now from Zondervan, today. You can of course get it from Amazon, or any Christian book store. You’ll be so glad you did!

Hi friends - here’s this week’s column. All about “character counts” - only the question is, what the heck does that mean?

Hi friends - I hope you’ll tune in today to “It Takes a Parent” live at 2:00 central. I’ll be talking to Donna Freitas, author of “Sex and the Soul,” about what is going on on college campuses and the “hook-up” culture today. I posted her WSJ article on “CEO’s and Office Ho’s” parties yesterday! Moms and dads of college age kids - and anyone who knows, or who will be, such a mom or dad someday - are definitely going to want to tune into this one! You can listen today at 2:00 p.m. , AM1160 Chicago, www.wyll.com, or here after the show and podcast on NationalReview.com

Thanks for listening.
