About this ebook

Advice on how to care for pastors' kids and allow them to find their own faith and identity.

Pastors' kids are often burdened by others' expectations, but there is a wonderful solution, both at home and in the church: grace.

In this revised, refreshed version of Barnabas Piper's best-known book, the author candidly shares his own experiences as son of pastor and bestselling author John Piper, offering a challenge to our churches and to the families at their very heart: how to care for pastors' kids and allow them to find their own faith and identity.

Foreword by John Piper.

Ratings and reviews

I bought this book because I'm giving a class on being a PK to other PK's. I had no idea how to put into words my experience without making all about me. It's nice to know there's a "universal" experience we all share even though we live separate lives. This book illustrates very well the key thing we all needed growing up that very few of us received. I highly recommend this book to all PK's and for everyone who wants to get to know us better. It might even answer some questions that have plagued you about us and the lives of our pastors.
