The books<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Parents Arise! Grandparents Arise!<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Two volumes for family leaders who would rather have something in their hands than a website open. Book one names ten challenges to overcome. Book two gives ten actions to take.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Written by<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Al Erickson, with Patricia Malloy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Foreword by Al Quie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Al Erickson wrote these because he believes parents and grandparents carry the main responsibility for preparing their offspring for a treacherous world \u2014 and because a curriculum on a website is not always the thing a family leader can reach for at ten o\u2019clock at night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The two volumes are a pair. The first is diagnostic: ten challenges that stand between a family leader and the child they are trying to reach. The second is prescriptive: ten specific actions to take, in a form you can begin this week.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n

The ten challenges of the first volume and the ten actions of the second are specific, pointed and all make sense. You will have to read the books to find out what they are; which I encourage you to do. For those who care about our youth today, these books are must reading.<\/p>\nWalter Sundberg<\/strong>

Ten challenges to overcome<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\n

Ten actions to take<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
