Hook, Line, & Sinker: How the Enemy is Dividing and Destroying the Christian Family (Second Edition)

This book is phenomenally helpful for understanding how Satan attacks teenagers and their parents in order to divide them, to incite rebellion, to influence them toward personal corruption, and to cause them to crave unhealthy friendships. The author quotes Scripture to back up his claims and uses a lot of personal stories. The book is exceptionally readable, but also challenges any parent or teen to raise the bar. I found that we've done a lot of things right in our family, which made me feel good, but I also found some things that I need to work on. I can't think of a better book to guide parents and teens toward wise living other than the Bible itself.

This is a must read for all parents of teens or pre-teens. It's practical advice will be read many times as my children grow.

Great for parents and teens!

READ IT TO BE WISE(WITH BIBLE), BE BOLD TO APPLY IT...AND BECOME FRUITFUL TO THE GLORY OF GOD IN CHRIST, BY HIS GRACE!

loved it.went through it i n our Sunday School class and found it to be a great tool for armor

Easy to read and grasp Mr Schmidt's thoughts. I would recommend this book to my friends and family because of the need of our ruined culture

I really like this book.It helped me a lot in my life.I think that every Christian should read this book.

Hook, Line & Sinker by Cary Schmidt is a Sunday School curriculum written for teens and their parents. I have personally found it to be a phenomenal resource in my teen boys' class, and would highly recommend it to any youth director.Schmidt begins by drawing an analogy between a fisherman trying to use lures, hooks, and bait, to catch fish; and the devil who is using the same to "hook" teenagers. He then begins to explain in detail the four most common hooks that the devil uses in our teens lives, how they can identify and avoid these mistakes, and what parents need to be doing to make sure their children stay protected.This curriculum contains a lot of practical application and wisdom drawn from years of experience in the ministry, and clearly shows Schmidt's dedication to helping teens through their journey to adulthood.David Scott~This review was originally posted at [..]
