Made in His Image: Ages 16+
A Christian Parent's Guide to Body Image, Gender and Sexuality
The teenage years are ending. Adulthood is beginning.
Yet some of the most important conversations about faith, identity, relationships, sexuality, mental health, and life decisions are only just getting started.
Made in His Image: Ages 16+ is a practical and compassionate guide for parents, grandparents, carers, pastors, youth leaders, and mentors navigating the transition from parenting teenagers to guiding young adults. Rather than focusing on control and rules, this book helps families build the kind of relationships that keep communication open long after childhood ends. It encourages parents to move from being managers to becoming trusted mentors who influence through connection, wisdom, and love.
Inside you'll discover how to navigate conversations about:
★ Faith, doubt, and helping young people develop a faith of their own
★ Sexual health, relationships, and growing independence
★ Body image, social media, dating apps, and online influences
★ Dating, healthy relationships, and preparing for marriage
★ Consent, alcohol, parties, and personal safety
★ Pornography, sextortion, and digital pressures
★ Mental health, resilience, and emotional wellbeing
★ Unplanned pregnancy and responding with love and support
★ Launching young adults into independence while staying connected
Filled with real-life examples, conversation starters, "Try Saying" scripts, practical checklists, reflection questions, and Australian support services, this guide provides the tools parents need for some of the most challenging conversations they will face.
Whether you're raising a teenager approaching adulthood, supporting a young adult navigating relationships and independence, or searching for a meaningful resource for a parent, church, or youth ministry leader, Made in His Image: Ages 16+ offers trusted guidance rooted in biblical truth and real-world wisdom.
