Summary: THE instruction manual on teenagers
Review: Every parent and person that works with youths should have this book. It is THE manual for understanding teenagers. Chapman does a fantastic job of explaining that a child's language does not change when they become a teenager, but they do adopt a different dialect. How fascinating! His advice and techniques are solid and effective. Get this book and watch the way it improves your relationship with all the children in your life. It is worth its weight in gold.

Summary: Youth Ministers Review
Review: I have been in the youth ministry for 8 years now and this is one of the best books that I have ever read for those who have teenagers. I have bought over 25 copies of this book and have given them to every parent who's child graduates up to youth. Many parents have found what Chapman says as invaluable information. We now even do a special discipleship class based around the material in this book. I highly recommend it to any parent who has a teenager...it will change the way you view your student and the way you treat them. If you want to build a better relationship with your student...I would read this book, and then put it to practice.

Summary: An awesome book
Review: I will give you a short background so you will know where I am coming from. My husband and I have been married eleven years and have tried to conceive a child for about nine of those years with no success. Well, since July 2003 we have adopted four children. They all are teenagers. I bought this book with the hopes of understanding each of my teenagers love languages. It is hard to figure out their love languages especially since we did not have to opportunity to have them when they were younger.
This book was very helpful.I really enjoyed this book.
The way this book was written made it easy to understand and I have already tried some of the suggestions from the book and they have worked. Thanks so much.

Summary: One of the Most Helpful Books in the World!
Review: This book changed my point of view about relationships and gave me ideas, for improving relationships and life that I have never heard from any other source. It is fresh, insightful, and deeply helpful.I shared some of the things I learned from this book with my parents and they have bought copies for many people who have come to them for counseling. If you need help understanding your mate, or a new lease on your relationship, this book will definately help. Gary Chapman spells out 5 different styles that people love or relate to love as love languages and shares how to identify and share love to people in the language that they can understand. I consider this an earth shaking book!!!!

Summary: Great Sense in This Book
Review: This is a fine book that is both realistic and practical. Chapman understands teenagers and offers advice as though it were given by Solomon. Chapman is balanced and Biblical. He shows an understanding of individuality and human nature. As a pastor of 20 years, I recommend this book to anyone who has teenagers.

Summary: Chapman Is On Target Again
Review: Where was this book when we were raising two teenagers? The fact that we did so well is a testimony to dumb luck and two very understanding and flexible youngsters. This is an invaluable book for any parent about to begin the teenage years with their children. Using the same basic framework (five love languages - acts of service, gifts, quality time, physical touch, and words of affirmation), Chapman directs his comments to the needs of parents. His approach to establishing family "rules" is exceptional. Read in conjunction with another of his books - Five Signs of a Functional Family, you cannot go wrong. After reading this later book, I ran right out and purchased a copy for my son and his wife. When their daughter becomes a teenager, I will present them with a copy of this book. No caring parent can go wrong with this book. Buy a copy now!
