Why I Didn't Rebel: A Twenty-Two-Year-Old Explains Why She Stayed on the Straight and Narrow---and How Your Kids Can Too

Written by Rebecca Gregoire Lindenbach

Narrated by Shannon McManus

In this unique combination of personal history, interviews, and social science, a young millennial shares surprising reasons that youthful rebellion isn't inevitable and points the way for raising healthy, grounded children who love God.Teen rebellion is seen as a cultural norm, but Rebecca Gregoire Lindenbach begs to differ. In Why I Didn't Rebel--based on a viral blog post that has been read by more than 750,000 people--Lindenbach shows how rebellion is neither unavoidable nor completely understood. Based on interviews with her peers and combining the latest research in psychology and social science with stories from her own life, she gives parents a new paradigm for raising kids who don't go off the rails.Rather than provide step-by-step instructions on how to construct the perfect family, Lindenbach tells her own story and the stories of others as examples of what went right, inviting readers to think differently about parenting. Addressing hot-button issues such as courtship, the purity movement, and spanking--and revealing how some widely--held beliefs in the Christian community may not actually help children--Why I Didn't Rebel provides an utterly unique, eye-opening vision for raising kids who follow God rather than the world.

Reviews for Why I Didn't Rebel

[Eunice Alasa · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Amazing, easy to read with relatable stories. I had to keep reminding myself that I was not reading the book to point out my parents mistakes, but to help, strengthen and grow my faith and help me parent well when the time comes. Parenting needs authenticity, consistency and truth for it to be effective.
Thank you so much for this book!
