    To my dear friend
    Jackie Stauffer, who
    raised a good son to
    be friends with mine

    Like most books, this one wasnt written alone. There were a lot of people expressing their love to me in the form of goodness as defined in this book. Thanks to

    Kelly Nebel, who was the first to do any work on this book. She is a research geek. (Takes one to know one.) She rolled up her sleeves and is the reason that this book communicates intelligently! In the middle of this she got married. May she and Mark produce many good boys!

    Suzie Rothgeb, who followed Gods heart to offer to edit. While we were in the middle of writing this book, God spoke to Bob and me about resting and tending to our own family. How would I do that with a book to edit and a deadline to meet? Suzie e-mailed me out of the blue and asked if she could help. What an answer to prayer and what a great editor! The Christian publishing industry has just found its next great critical thinker!

    Harvest House Publishers, who just makes me feel so welcomed. While I was writing this, Terry Glaspey and Larae Weikert actually trekked out to central Pennsylvania and we had some stimulating conversations about how to craft critical pieces of this message. What a treasure that day was. Paul Gossard, editor extraordinaire, made certain that our thinking actually did make sense. Thank you for the privilege of partnering with you.

    The Resource Agency, who helps me strategically plan my writing ministry. Mike Keil has become such a dear friend to Bob and me. It did not go without notice that as I worked on this, Mike and his wife, Tina, launched a very good son into married life. Congratulations, Jason and Lillian!

    Eileen King, my assistant, who is so notably full of goodness that I would not survive writing deadlines without her. Thank you for making my life more manageable and organized.

    But mostly, thanks goes to my family: Bob, who wrote this one with me. Lexi and Autumn, for patience when your mom had a deadline to meet. And especially, Robby Gresh. Ive been thankful to God for him from the moment I first held him. His goodness humbles me every day.

    Six Ways to Keep the Good in Your Boy Guiding Your Son from His Tweens to His Teens - image 4

    A few months ago, I received an e-mail from my mom with the manuscript of this book attached, asking me to look it over and make sure I was okay with everything she shares about me. I read it through and then replied, Its really good and you make me look pretty good, so you can keep everything. She then replied, I dont make anybody look good. You are good. Im proud of you.

    This may not seem that significant to you, but it meant a lot to me. My mom is always encouraging me, whether through an occasional text or e-mail or a basket full of snacks during finals week. That said, my parents have never been afraid to tell me when I can do better, and they have always delivered those messages with love.

    When I was younger, I thought I had the best parents in the world. I assumed that all kids must feel the same way about theirs. As I grew older I realized that my relationship with my mom and dad was special. Other kids often didnt share the love and respect with their parents that I share with mine. And I think that most students in college can identify a few things that they would like to do differently with their kids than their parents did with them. When my mom asked me what I wish she and dad had done differently, I honestly couldnt think of anything significant. My parents arent perfect, and they wouldnt want me to tell you that they are, but I really feel they are incredible. They set a great example for me every day. They encourage me. They know the difference between youre doing it all wrong and you can do better. And most important, they have always made it clear that they love me. Im not sure what I could do differently, but I will be thrilled if I am as good a parent to my kids as my parents are to me.
