To the two people who provided me
with boundless hope during my adolescent years.
I dedicate this work to my mom and dad,
Les and Lora Lee Parrott,
with love and affection
T he first words of this book were written on an airplane as I was returning home to Seattle from Indianapolis, where I had addressed a gathering of parents, ministers, and counselors. They had come from across the country to talk about helping struggling adolescents. Their dedication, compassion, and enthusiasm were self-evident, and a company of people never encouraged a writer more than they did me. Helping the Struggling Adolescent was inspired by these people and written for thousands like them.
I am indebted to my colleagues at Seattle Pacific University who understand and encourage my calling to integrate spiritual values with human understanding. I am especially thankful for the prayerful support of my colleagues in the School of Social and Behavioral Sciences and the Department of Psychology.
The pages of this book represent the combined effort and expertise of many professionals who reviewed and critiqued particular chapters. The following specialists deserve not only acknowledgment, but my profound gratitude: Dub Ambrose, Roy Barsness,Alan Basham, Charles Bombardier, John Court,Wendy Fisher, Stan Gaede, Joy Hammersla, Dan Hartman, Donald Joy, James Mallory, David Massey, Steve Moore,Thanne Moore, Carol Parrott, Cliff Penner, Cindy Perrin, Robin Perrin, Kim Lampson-Reif, Michael Roe, Randy Rowland, Denny Rydberg, Suzanne Shelton, JoAnne Smatlan, James Scott Smith, Pat Springle, Les Steele, Scott Willis, Mitch Woltersdorf, MichaelVitiello, and Philip Zimbardo. The discerning questions and thoughtful input of these people have been immensely helpful. Although none of these individuals can be held responsible for weaknesses that remain, they have all made contributions to whatever strengths this book contains.
A debt of thanks is also owed to the people who have helped me improve my craft of writing. Luke Reinsma and Rose Reynoldson generously gave of their time to help me rework the first draft of this manuscript while it still suffered from the disease of clutter. I am indebted to Lori VandenBosch, Sandy Vander Zicht, and Jim Ruark, my editors at Zondervan, for their personal touch and heartfelt desire to help those who work with struggling adolescents. I am also grateful for Stan Gundrys vision and confidence in this project. The library work of my research assistantsJon Anderson, Sarah Timmons, and Steve Scottwas invaluable. Janice Lundquist and Mindy Galbreath, as usual, helped me keep the details of my life running smoothly during this project.
The long, lonely hours in front of my computer were compensated for by the energizing support of friends who put up with my struggling adolescent obsession. Special thanks go to my pastor,Tharon Daniels, for the cathartic talks while jogging around Green Lake, and to my friend, Steve Moore, for affirming the dream.
To my wife, Leslie, I owe more than gratitude. It is difficult for me to imagine how any human being could give more to another than she has given to me. Her positive spirit helped create an environment that made this book possible. Her patience, vision, and unswerving dedication to our relationship know no bounds. Nor does my love for her.
Finally, I want to thank the adolescents who trusted me with the personal struggles that have defined their pilgrimage. They have taught me much.
