Dr. Virginia Friesen's book, "Raising a Trailblazer: Rite-of-Passage Trail Markers for Your Set-Apart Teens", will be arriving at the H.I.M. office in the next week and will soon be ready for shipment to those who have pre-ordered their copy. This is your last chance to get pre-release pricing and free shipping!
In the book, Virginia explains the rites-of-passage celebrations she and Paul have used to mark their three daughters' 13th, 16th, 18th, and 21st birthdays and gives the rationale behind each celebration. Ideas for how to mark these rites of passage for sons are given as well.
Noted author and speaker, Cynthia Heald, writes:
This is a much needed and relevant book for our times when it is so easy for our children to be led down a wrong path. Reading "Raising a Trailblazer" will not only equip you to blaze the trail and bless your teen, but it will also give you the confidence and tools you need to enjoy the hike.
$10 per book with free shipping via media mail.
