RITE OF PASSAGE For generations, other religions and cultures have put their children  through a rite of passage to adulthood. Many people are aware of the Jewish practice  of the Bar and Bat Mitzvahs, for example. The reality, however, is that many children  today don't learn how to become adults on purpose; rather, they ride the  wave of adolescence toward an unknown adult future.Moms, dads, and other  perfectly placed adults have the unique opportunity to guide the teenagers in their  life toward adulthood. This is not a privilege to be taken lightly, but neither  is it an impossible task.Jim McBride, executive producer of Fireproof  and Courageous, brings wisdom, experience, and practical examples to his  guidebook for leading those burgeoning adults in your life through a real-life Rite  of Passage.
