Description

Today's children and teens are growing up more anxious, depressed, and fearful than previous generations. But if we help this generation, often called "Gen Z," to discover true God-confidence, instead of chasing the illusive self-confidence, we can empower them to embrace their uniqueness and find their purpose, passion, and peace as they grow into humble, compassionate, and resilient young people.Cyndie Claypool de Neve, an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist, shares her personal journey from feeling anxious and suicidal to learning God-confidence. She explains how parents and youth workers can use these principles to encourage this next generation to discover the purpose for which God created them. God-Confident Kids is filled with stories, Scripture, psychological insights, and practical tips to help families move from fear-based parenting to faith-filled parenting as we claim Ephesians 2:10 for our kids: "For we are God's handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do."

Foreword
I had the great joy and privilege of writing several books with Cyndie. She is a gifted writer who draws you close to God, His Word, and His will for your life. And now she has written a powerful book! I believe God- Confident Kids is a must-read for every parent. Today’s world is not like the one we grew up in. It is filled with false images of self, bullying, school shootings, suicides, and a drug epidemic that is killing thousands. Children of all ages are filled with fear and depression and are facing many challenges. Parents need insight and practical tips to guide their children forward to being Christ-centered instead of self- or world-centered.
Every parent desires to help their children find true purpose, passion, and peace. Cyndie’s education and professional background combined with her knowledge of God and His Word give her great insight and wisdom to help parents raise God-confident children in today’s world. She weaves together real-life experiences, God’s promises, and instructions to help you as a parent or grandparent navigate your children and grandchildren through any situation to become positive world changers.
God has an amazing plan for each one He has created! How do you as a parent help your children fulfill God’s amazing plan for their lives? How do your children develop a confidence that will never be taken away from them, a confidence that is not dependent on trends, looks, abilities, disabilities, age, or anything else? How do your children grow in a confidence that will give them the ability to use their God-given talent to impact generations? Read this book and you will learn how to specifically help your children grow in wisdom, knowledge, and insight of who God is and who they are in Christ.
As I and others travel throughout the world empowering women to pray for children and schools, I see God raising up a mighty gen
