Soul Sick: The Causes of Spiritual Disease in Our Children - Softcover
Re-edited and Re-released! A must read for every 21st Century parent!There are nearly 150 million ounces of gold sitting in Fort Knox. If you were interested in getting at it, however, you would have a great deal of difficulty. All that bullion sits behind a blast door weighing twenty-two tons!
But don't worry about that because you would never even make it that far. "The depository itself is protected by layers of physical security, alarms, video cameras, microphones, minefields, barbed razor wire, electric fences, heavily armed guards, and...army units." There are also unmarked Apache helicopter gunships, the 16th Cavalry Regiment, the 19th Engineer Battalion, and the 3rd Brigade Combat Team of the 1st Infantry Division, totaling 30,000 soldiers, with associated tanks, armored personnel carriers, and artillery.
That is a lot of protection for the estimated 260 billion dollars in gold at Fort Knox, yet it is still nowhere near the treasure that is your child's heart. How much more should you guard that precious commodity?
The Bible says that our children are gifts from the Lord. We are charged to care for and protect these priceless gifts. It is not enough to make sure our kids eat balanced meals, do their homework, get exercise, and learn to say "please" and "thank you." We must make sure to guard their hearts and minds. Their spiritual lives must be protected.
You've heard of diseases that affect the mind and the body, but what about diseases that affect the soul? Looking at the CDC's list of most dangerous diseases, you will not find any such diseases listed.
Do not be fooled, however, for these diseases exist. In fact, their contagion levels may be reaching epidemic proportions among our children and teens. For as surely as the young are most susceptible to physical disease, so it is with diseases of the soul. What are these diseases that seek after our children's souls? How can we guard against them? Answering those questions is the purpose of this generation-defining book! (Also available on Kindle)

From the Author:
Raising a family is no easy task. Raising a family that follows Christ is near impossible. Thankfully, through God's Word, God's Spirit, God's people, and the tools God places in our paths, what was once impossible becomes very much possible. I hope this book serves as one such tool to help you understand the problems in our culture while also providing means to overcome them. Remember: with God, all things are possible!
