From the Back Cover:
"As one person concerned about the plight in his community, Dr. Jeffery Scott led his church into faithful, effective action for children. Dr. Scott brings his concern for children and his experience to this book. Parents, people of faith, and all who care about children will hear a call to action in the practical suggestions of what a parent can do."-Marian Wright Edelman, Founder and President, Children's Defense Fund
From the Inside Flap:
"Parenting children in today's world scares even the most resourceful of parents. Saving our children will take the prayer and action of all God's people, and Scott has shown in very practical, important ways in this book how parents can lead the way. This book will give you the hope and action planes needed to make a real difference for the sake of children." -Diana Garland, Director, Family Ministry Research Project, Louisville Presbyterian Theological Seminary
"... a well-documented compilation of both problems and solutions that should be required reading for all who work with youth. I hope all parents, as well as volunteers and professionals who work with youth, have the good fortune to discover this cornucopia of valuable material."-C. Truett Baker, President, Arizona Baptist Children's Services
"Scott maps out ideas for change - change even one parent can make. These changes can have far-reaching effects in helping us to reclaim our land and make it a good place for children."-Jan Cox, Children and Family Ministry Board of Christian Education of the Church of God
" The 'What's a Parent to Do?' sections and the excellent referral information offer practical suggestions for parents and churches to become allies in making a difference. I am recommending this book to my students in Family Life Education."-C. Ferris Jordan, J.M. Frost Sunday School Board, Professor of Christian Education, New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary
"Each day the pages of America's newspapers are filled with hideous accounts of violence and atrocities involving our nation's most precious commodity - our children. Scott presents not only a clear picture of the staggering statistics involving the youth of America, but offers practical advocacy efforts at the end of each chapter, suggesting ways parents and other adults can be voices for America's children."-Barbara Massey, Design Editor, Woman's Missionary Union
"Into what kind of world have we brought our children?" Many parents ask a version of this question. Children bring such promise, hope, and optimism about the world, and yet we know that the world in which they mature has a tremendous impact on their lives. Furthermore, the world's problems can seem large and seemingly unchangeable.
Does Your Child's World Scare You? offers a wealth of information about the shape of today's world and how it affects children. More that that, it gives parents and concerned adults ideas for realistic actions they can take to make a difference for children.
"This book examines this strange new world in which our children find themselves. It is a world of deteriorating family structures, increasing violence, and sexual encounters at increasingly earlier ages. It is a world of vexing economic challenges such as poverty and hunger that drain the life out of society's children. It is an unhealthy world where children do not receive adequate medical care and are plagued by alcohol and drug usage... The time is right for a renewed focus on children," Scott writes.
Dr. Jeffery Scott writes from a perspective of faith. His is a faith in children as our future, faith in families that they can make the world better, and faith in God that our world's problems can be overcome.
