By: Sylvain Neuvel | Series: The Themis FilesPacific Rim meets The Martian in the explosive follow-up to Sleeping Giants (“One of the most promising series kickoffs in recent memory.”—NPR) and Waking Gods (“Pure, unadulterated literary escapism.”—Kirkus Reviews).
Brilliant scientist Rose Franklin has devoted her adult life to solving the mystery she accidentally stumbled upon as a child: a huge metal hand buried beneath the ground outside Deadwood, South Dakota. The discovery set in motion a cataclysmic chain of events with geopolitical ramifications. Rose and the Earth Defense Corps raced to master the enigmatic technology, as giant robots suddenly descended on Earth’s most populous cities, killing one hundred million people in the process. Though Rose and her team were able to fend off the attack, their victory was short-lived. The mysterious invaders retreated, disappearing from the shattered planet . . . but they took the scientist and her crew with them.
Now, after nearly ten years on another world, Rose returns to find a devastating new war—this time between humans. America and Russia are locked in combat, fighting to fill the power vacuum left behind after the invasion. Families are torn apart, friends become bitter enemies, and countries collapse in the wake of the battling superpowers. It appears the aliens left behind their titanic death machines so humankind will obliterate itself. Rose is determined to find a solution, whatever it takes. But will she become a pawn in a doomsday game no one can win?

helpful and timely
I love the tone of this book. The author comes across well, with the whole goal being to get to know our teens at the heart level.
I found myself wanting to see my kids in this same light, as wonderful people God positioned in my life for me to know and interact with. Just that part would have made this book worthwhile. It really did help to change my heart toward them.
There were some areas where I felt entitled to respect from them, but those thoughts were dashed as I realized I owe them only love. The author also addressed every question that came up, such as, "Isn't that indulgent?" "What about discipline?" "If I just love them, won't they walk all over me?" Those questions proved I just didn't understand the meaning of the word Love. These questions were particularly answered in the chapters about acts of service and gifts, two love languages that can easily be misused by both parents and teenagers. I learned some things I'd never thought of, such as making a ceremony out of gift giving, in order for it to be accepted as a gift rather than just something a son or daughter is entitled to. About acts of service, I appreciated the advice to serve, all the while explaining what we are doing, so that they will never misunderstand and think they are entitled to acts of service, and also that they will not miss what we are doing is expressing love.
Something else that was new to me, and I hadn't counted on, was the moodiness of teenagers. I didn't know that was common and that it will be outgrown. I know, I should have known, I was obviously one at one time, but I missed the obvious, and had some aha moments personally, when I read this book. I hadn't known that there is no need to be offended or intimidated by these moody spells, but to lovingly address the person just as if they were not.
There was a whole chapter devoted to finding out our teens' love languages, and even how they might have changed dialects by growing up.
The book is up to date, acknowledging that there are cell phones and electronics, and how this affects today's teens so much more than the previous generation.
The reason I don't give it five stars is because I thought the author could have used more examples of interests kids could have. So many of the examples and suggestions involved either peer relationships, homework, or sports, all areas where I thought kids would be displaying false personalities. I would have liked to read more examples about family activities in the home, where everyone tends to be more like themselves, and where the reality of their life will lie as soon as they graduate from school. It could also be that we are farming, and our lifestyle is very home centered instead of business trip/9 -5 hours oriented, and I just couldn't relate to those examples. Anyway, that small concern didn't take much away from a great book, There is so much wise advice here, that we could easily fill in our own examples from our life. This is a book I'm glad to have in my library and one that I will read again.

A worthwhile read for anyone who deals with teenagers and adolescents
Format: Kindle
Mr. Chapman’s series on the Five Love Languages is excellent reading for anyone who feels disconnected in their ability to love someone else effectively, and this book is an excellent addition. Teenagers are special little monsters who are transitioning from being cute kids to ugly adults, so they have to take it out on the world. Dr. Chapmen’s work helps to restore a level of humanity to them that can be forgotten by those on either side of that great transition into adulthood.

A MUST for parents of teens
Honestly. I wish I’d read this before my first child was a teen and not my last. This book is a GAME CHANGER, as is the original. So much insight into how to better connect with and truly make them feel loved.

Highly recommend
Format: Paperback
I have read the love languages for kids when my child was about 7 and I found it very helpful and gave me a very different perspective on handling issues that would come up. I purchased this book, more out of curiosity as I don’t have a difficult relationship with my teen but I found it very eye opening. It not only helped me realized things about my own childhood but also a better way to handle issues with my teen. I think this book is good for anyone who wants a closer relationship with their teen, anyone having trouble parenting their teen or anyone who simply wants to be the best parent they can be. This book could be the thing to change your perspective and your relationship with your teen. Don’t hope you and your child can have a good relationship when they are an adult. Be proactive and have one now so that when they do go off to college, they do want to come back home.

I was scared, but…
I’ve heard a lot of questionable stuff about this Bible. I’ve heard even more questionable stuff on out its main translator, but I just don’t see why. It’s really just an easy to read, almost novel-like version of the Bible. It has an explanation in the beginning explaining why it’s not exactly word for word; it has great explanations and commentary to help the reader understand the verse and the translations; it encourages readers to compare with other translations; and it has all “added for context, explanation, or better understanding” words in italics so if your skeptical about anything, you’ll know whether it’s added context. I love it. It’s helped me to read the Bible so much more than I ever have before and it’s strengthened my relationship with God so much because I can not only understand what I’m reading better, but I can understand it AS I read it. Previously, it used to take hours of questions, researching, studying, and learning the history and context of even the simplest verses. I still research and make sure I truly understand what I’m reading, but this has just made it so much easier and also made it possible for me to not have to make an Olympic sport out of reading my bible every time I go to read it.
