You did all the right things you knew to do as a parent, but despite your best efforts, your kid's in trouble. And all those simple answers you once had about how to handle teenage problems don't seem so simple anymore. Dr. Scott Larson and his wife have spent nine years taking kids from juvenile jails into their home. He knows the questions parents in pain are desperately asking: Where should we stand firm and where should we compromise? Should we let the law intervene? Is it time to tell my teen to leave home? How can we trust a child who has betrayed our trust so many times? How can we be sure we're doing the right thing? Dr. Larson addresses these and numerous other critical issues that must be faced when teens stray. His insights draw from biblical principles, recent social and psychological research, and years of personal and professional experience dealing with troubled teens. The result is a realistic, sensible plan of action, not just for parents, but for all adults who care for rebellious teenagers.

By showing how the Bloomberg administration's plans borrow selectively from Moses' and Jacobs' writing, Larson lays bare the contradictions buried in such rhetoric and argues that there can be no equitable solution to the social and economic goals for redevelopment in New York City with such a strategy. Building Like Moses with Jacobs in Mind offers a lively critique that shows how the legacies of these two planners have been interpreted - and reinterpreted - over time and with the evolution of urban space. Ultimately, he makes the case that neither figure offers a meaningful model for addressing stubborn problems - poverty, lack of affordable housing, and segregation along class and racial lines - that continue to vex today's cities.

In the Parable of the Seed, Jesus speaks about how lives are transformed when the seeds of God’s Word are planted in fertile soil. But what kind of groundwork best prepares the soil—the soul—of someone’s life? And how does true, transformative, lasting change really happen? Authors Scott Larson and Daniel Tocchini ask, and answer, these questions about transformation in Groundwork: Preparing the Soil for God’s Transformation. Applying a combination of personal storytelling, research, and methods garnered from years of practice, the authors equip church leaders, counselors, and ministry professionals with tools to help people experience God’s transformation. These methods for promoting active change in the lives of others have been successfully utilized in business leadership trainings for years, but are now being instructed through the lens of the Bible and Christian practice.

Reclaiming Our Prodigal Sons and Daughters offers a penetrating portrayal of the rootlessness of many of today s youth and a powerful, four-step plan for reaching them. This resource is based on the best research and practice available on positive youth development. Part one of the book discusses the nature of the problem, while part two presents a fresh model for reclaiming our prodigal sons and daughters using four steps, including cultivating trust through reparenting, cultivating competence through redirecting, cultivating responsibility through reconciling, and cultivating commitment through redeeming. The unique feature of Reclaiming Our Prodigal Sons and Daughters is its accent on the spiritual dimension of contemporary youth problems and on the role that members of faith communities can play in reclaiming youth in conflict. The book makes a strong case that we fail to meet all of a young person s needs unless we nurture their spiritual dimension.
