Age of Opportunity

The argument over the last donut. The cry of nothing to wear a half hour before school. The “I’m the only one whose parents make them . . .”


Teenage hassles that disrupt parents’ lives? Or prime opportunities to connect with, listen to, and nurture our kids?


Paul Tripp uncovers the heart issues affecting parents and their teenagers during the often chaotic adolescent years. With wit, wisdom, humility, and compassion, he shows parents how to seize the countless opportunities to deepen communication, learn, and grow with their teenagers.


“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


“Opens the door to hope for parents and teens alike by showing us how God can transform the hearts of whole families. . . . You won’t be able to put this book down.”
