When the kids are gone, you can discover a richer, deeper, and more
fulfilling life than you ever imagined! Whether you've been looking
forward to it or dreading it, the experience of coming home to an
empty nest brings with it a well of emotions, realizations, and one
gigantic, all-consuming thought: Now what? As an empty nester, the
options before you are practically limitless--a fact that can be as
exciting as it is terrifying. In this book, Jim Burns combines his
personal experiences with extensive research, interviews with other
empty nesters, and his professional work as a family educator to
help you navigate your new life as an empty nester and find joy in
the opportunities for life-change before you. Rather than offering
shallow suggestions of hobbies you should take up, Burns encourages
you to actively pursue a fresh start, reinvent yourself, and thrive
beyond this new stage. To help you do this, he equips you with
practical advice and timeless principles, including how to: Change
the relationship you once had with your children--for the better
Face big issues (like aging parents, finances, and kids returning
home) with confidence And rekindle your fire and purpose to live
with passion day by day Amid his wealth of know-how, you'll uncover
what may be the most important takeaway of all: hope that the best
is yet to come.

If you have an adult child, you know that parenting doesn't stop
when a child reaches the age of eighteen. In many ways, it gets
more complicated. Both your heart and your head are as involved as
ever, whether your child lives under your roof or rarely stays in
contact. In Doing Life with Your Adult Children, parenting expert
Jim Burns helps you navigate the toughest and the most rewarding
parts of parenting your grown kids. Speaking from his own personal
and professional experience, Burns offers practical answers to
questions such as these: Is it OK to give advice to my grown child?
What's the difference between enabling and helping? What boundaries
should I have if my child moves back home? What do I do when my
child doesn't seem to be maturing into adulthood? How do I relate
to my grown child's significant other? What does it mean to have
healthy financial boundaries? How can I support my grown children
when I don't support their values? Including positive principles on
bringing kids back to faith, ideas on how to leave a legacy as a
grandparent, and encouragement for every changing season, Doing
Life with Your Adult Children is a unique book on your changing
role in a calling that never ends.
Las decisiones que tomamos en la adolescencia nos afectan por el
resto de nuestra vida Por esa razon este es un libro muy
importante. En estas paginas dos heroes del ministerio con
adolescentes (uno de habla inglesa y otro de habla hispana) te
ayudaran a decidir lo mejor que puedes hacer con tu sexualidad. La
verdadera santidad no es aburrida sino una garantia de exito y por
eso el plan de Dios es tan sensacional Practicar el codigo de la
pureza es disfrutar la vida plenamente, y responder si alguna vez
te preguntaste algo como esto: * Que significan estos cambios en mi
cuerpo y estos nuevos deseas? * Cual es la edad ideal para un
noviazgo? * Que hacer si me han abusado sexualmente? * Que son y
como evitar las enfermedades veneras? Este libro tiene que estar
entre tus propiedades predilectas "
Trusted family authority Jim Burns outlines a simple and practical
guide for parents on how to develop in their children a healthy
perspective regarding their bodies and sexuality. Much more than
just the when and how of having 'the talk', this invaluable
resource encourages building a 'theology of healthy sexuality'
through the introduction of age-appropriate dialog throughout a
young person's life.
En algun punto de nuestra ocupada vida, muchos hemos olvidado, o
incluso no hemos aprendido, los fundamentos de la buena crianza de
los hijos, y ellos estan sufriendo por esta causa. Tenemos buenas
intenciones, pero las frustraciones diarias y los constantes
conflictos pueden evidenciar que estamos mejor preparados para
conducir un automovil o dedicarnos a nuestra carrera que a criar
hijos. Para evitar el metodo habitual de formar a los hijos a base
de procedimientos empiricos, Jim Burns ofrece consejos y
estrategias de eficacia comprobada para las familias de hoy dia.
Inspirado con su singular franqueza y espiritu practico, cada
capitulo explora un aspecto diferente del ser padres; desde romper
cadenas generacionales de la disfuncion hasta crear un ambiente
calido en el hogar, tratar cuestiones de disciplina y bendecir a
nuestros hijos con un legado de fe. Los ejercicios utiles y las
preguntas de seguimiento sobre la marcha consolidan las habilidades
para ser padres y proveen un fundamento para desarrollar tu propio
plan familiar."
