As a seasoned parent and student counselor, Dr. Rick Horne understands the world in which teenagers live and the communication difficulty of talking to a disinterested and unmotivated teen. In Get Outta My Face, he combines biblical wisdom from the book of Proverbs with practical and specific directives that will make a difference in the life of you and your teen. Divided into three major sections, Part 1 addresses what you must understand to connect with your teen. Part 2 tells you what you must do help your teen and Part 3 tells you how to make the changes stick. Paperback.

Get Outta My Face , written for Christian parents, teachers, and youth workers, is about reaching angry, unmotivated, disinterested teens with biblical counsel. Such teens confused and insecure - are selfish; they want what they want, right now. They are corrupted by sin and this corruption is the cause of their problem. Despite all their sin problems, they are still made in the image of God, and this is the key to helping them. This book will help with addressing the teen's sin and bringing them to their God-given desires and godly actions. Far from dismissing or sugarcoating sin, this approach opens wide the door to evangelizing the unsaved teen and to helping the Christian teen grow in holiness and wisdom.

Here’s a fact. Angry, unmotivated, and disinterested teens, whether Christian or not, are confused, insecure, and often blind to everything except what they want right now. Their desires and actions have been corrupted and polluted by sin. That’s why they have a problem.

Here’s another fact. Angry, unmotivated, and disinterested teens, whether Christian or not, are made in the image of God. This means that beneath their corrupted desires and actions the image of God remains. That’s the key to solving their problem.

Far from dismissing or sugar-coating sin, this approach opens wide the door to evangelizing the unsaved teen and to helping the Christian teen grow in holiness and wisdom. This book will teach you how to build a bridge to young adults on the basis of the ways in which their desires and actions reflect the image of God and the blessing of common grace.

“The good news of this book is that it is not difficult to learn how to reach teens. In the following pages I attempt to unpack some of the rich, timeless wisdom of Proverbs and other sections of Scripture that God has given to equip us. As you continue reading, you will learn:

How to talk effectively to an angry, disinterested, or unmotivated teen (who usually doesn’t want to talk to you).

How to nurture this young person’s willingness to make better choices (when he or she often doesn’t think that other options make any sense).

How to restore a rich relationship (when both adult and teen may have given up hope that the relationship can get better).

But Christian parents can be encouraged to know that the Designer has shown us in Scripture how to talk effectively to anyone made in his own image—even teens whose sin breaks out in anger, bitterness, complacency, rebellion, defiance, or disinterest...We all want to help these young people recognize their self-destructive ways, learn new and effective methods of dealing with life, and ultimately come into a deep and life-changing relationship with Christ. That’s the goal of this book.”
