Friday of last week, in our office, we received two pallets of brand new books. We do not normally store books in our offices, but these are different. These are a tool. They are the culmination of the life's work of my friend Walker Moore.

This work from Thomas Nelson Publishing, is titled "Rite of Passage Parenting; Four Essential Experiences to Equip Your Kids for Life." It won't actually be released in book stores until the end of this month.

This book is well worth the money you will spend. It has a generous mix of humor and stories told in Walker's signature style. It is amazing how the unique situations shared combine into teachings that can impact your children, your family, and your world.

A war is raging around us in this day that the enemy prowls in such overt ways. His attempts to grasp and control the lives of our children has never been more successful. Essential weapons are needed to combat and protect them. This work provides common sense methods of taking your children through a 'rite of passage,' and preparing them for life. It begins at ages earlier than you might think.

I can tell you that Walker helped BJ to realize adulthood was an expectation that came earlier in his life than our culture was telling him. This was key to who he was in his last two years. At fourteen, he embraced adulthood and had significant impact on his world. Our children today want to have greater opportunities to make an impact than we are generally willing to give them.

"Rite of Passage Parenting" helps you understand how to bring this transition into your child's life in ways that are not contrived and overdone. Preparing them to be who the Lord wants them to be is one of our responsibilities as parents. If you have ever struggled at this, this book is for you. Even if yours are grown or you do not yet have children, the Lord will impact your life through this work.

Respectfully I let you know that I have not been asked to write this. I receive nothing from it. I simply saw the power of the teachings the Lord gave Walker have an incredible impact in my sons life and that of my family. I believe the Lord will work similarly in yours!

You can go to www.awestar.org or call 1-800-AWE-STAR and order your copies today.

This will not be a commercial site hereafter (unless the Lord directs again). I just believe in this work!
