Meet Me in the Middle: 8 Mother-Daughter Conversations about Life and Faith

By Sandra Stanley and Allie Stanley Cooney

Is she really fine or is she just saying that to avoid talking to me? How can our bond grow when she acts as if she doesn't want me around? How do I share my faith without her thinking it's a sermon?

As your daughter heads into the teenage years, you wonder how to handle the dramas and questions of adolescence. But what if instead of waiting to talk about big issues in the heat of the moment, you built a foundation of trust before crises even happened? Meet Me in the Middle helps you connect with your daughter beyond eye rolls and sighs--from either of you. With alternating chapters for you and your daughter, and eight structured opportunities for comfortable discussions together, this practical book equips you to:

Hear firsthand what your daughter is most stressed aboutLearn natural ways to communicate your faithHelp your daughter navigate fear and anxietyApproach the tricky subjects of friends, guys, and datingGrow in faith together as you find your identity and self-worth in Christ

As leaders at one of the country's largest churches, mother-and-daughter team Sandra Stanley and Allie Stanley Cooney have professional backgrounds working with young people--as well as personal experience seeking minimum door-slams and maximum heart-to-hearts. The discussion questions, Scriptures, and activity ideas they offer in Meet Me in the Middle guide you to a relationship with your tween or teen that helps you both grow in trust, communication, and faith.
