Do you want your kids to grow up to be emotionally, mentally, relationally, and spiritually healthy? We do too! More and more kids today are struggling to live into this dream. As they go through life, they encounter people and situations that lead them to pack and carry some enormous emotional baggage that holds them back from living in the grace and freedom that Christ provides. Parents are in a unique position to help their kids “lighten the load” along the way. BAGS helps parents become aware of the specific bags kids tend to pack as they grow up, how these bags tend to get packed, and the long-lasting negative impacts they can have. BAGS also offers practical strategies parents can employ to leverage their influence and prevent some of these bags from getting packed in the first place. The hope is that we can lead our kids into a more stable and healthy future.
“Parenthood remains the ‘greatest single preserve of the amateur,’ which means that failure, to varying degrees, is the norm, not the exception. My dear friend and teammate Chris Sasser’s book BAGS is a call for all of us as parents to stop making parenthood harder by pretending it’s not hard. Bags provides powerful, practical handles designed to help every parent lighten the load our children undoubtedly carry through life. Bags is thoughtful, insightful, helpful and a must-read for us parents in the wild!”

“I can think of few people whose wisdom about family ministry I respect more than Chris Sasser. From the first conversation we had about Bags years ago, I just knew he was onto something. I have watched Chris as a parent, as a pastor, and as a colleague, and I’m thrilled that his hope-filled, eye-opening, can-do wisdom is now available to lighten the load of parents, young people, and those who lead them!”
