Editorial Reviews

Praise for Reaching Your Teen in Their Natural Habitat

“In order to connect with your teenagers, you must become a student of their culture. Danny Holland’s book will give you great insight and practical help.”
Jim Burns, President of HomeWord and author of of Creating An Intimate Marriage

“Danny Holland’s book Reaching Teens in Their Natural Habitat is a must-read. I have been encouraged and impressed by Danny’s teaching for many years. In the thirty years that I have taught media literacy, I have encountered many media-lit teachers and speakers. Danny, however, stands out. His teaching is effective, profound, and solid. I read every page of his book and plan to read it again and again!”
