Absolutely Amazing!!!
If you have kids ages 14 to 16 please take a minute to read this. First of all I want you to know that I don't have any affiliation with Family First and have no personal gain by sharing this, but I felt I needed to share how awesome this parent-directed program truly is! Whether your family has never gone to church before or is actively involved in your church, you will absolutely love this curriculum! They provide you with a parent's guide that walks you step by step how to lead an amazing time of learning and sharing with your teen. The audio can be downloaded onto your phone or you can use the CDs that come with the kit. So many amazing people will pour into your teen through these sessions including John Piper, Francis Chan, Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth, Jen Wilkin, Priscilla Shier, etc. So many critical topics that are so relevant for teens are covered including relationships with friends and the opposite sex, desire to fit in, alcohol and drugs, self-harm, social media, making your faith your own, etc. The material is very current! The special projects you'll do together are object lessons that really help drive home the points from the audio and book! It is so worth the investment to spend this time with your teen! I did Passport2Identity for Young Women with my almost-16-year-old daughter, but they also have a version for young men. In addition, they offer Passport2Purity for younger kids. My husband will be doing that soon with our 13-year-old son. These programs can truly be life-changing and will bring hope to the next generation!

Excellent but do consider your child
I ordered this to do with my 14 year old. We spent 3 days together and went through the material pretty slowly, interspersing talk times with exploring a new city (on foot!). I'd definitely not try to do this in only 2 days; it would be far too rushed. As it was, I felt rushed at the end because I really wanted to give the end enough time. The main reason I rated it only 4 stars, however, was because i did not like the extra "discovery" activities. One of them was to have my daughter drive backward. My daughter is only 14 and has never been behind the wheel of a car!! There was no way I was going to do that one. The others seemed contrived and there was too much reference (in my opinion) to teen culture. That might be fine for the average teen I suppose, but my daughter is on the "young" side, being homeschooled and fairly unfamiliar with pop stars and typical teen culture. She doesn't have a phone or a Facebook page, so she couldn't really relate to some of the audio. Overall it was terrific with great topics but if you have a "young" teen like I do, you may want to wait a year. It did open doors for good communication between us, so I feel the weekend was a success!

Not what I expected...
I was very excited about this Passport to Identity idea and really looking forward to doing this with my daughter. However, as I prepared for the weekend and listened to the audio beforehand I realized that the content was not exactly what I had in mind. I was expecting the content to be focused on teaching our teens about our identity being rooted in Christ and not in what the world says, but the focus of this entire weekend is not her identity in Christ alone, but her identity as a woman based on FamilyLife's interpretation of what it means to be a woman. It is all very gender based. Even though they have very good life examples and stories of Godly teenagers, they make it a point to emphasize that the actions of that teenager characterize a Godly woman and is specific (restricted) for women, when in reality all their stories and principles are true for any Godly PERSON, whether male or female. For example, when they talk about being a helper and having the heart of a servant, they restrict this quality as being a characteristic that God created in women, when it should be a characteristic that all followers of Christ have. The bottom line is that this whole set is not meant to teach your teenager about having her IDENTITY IN CHRIST but her IDENTITY AS A WOMAN that follows Christ; for me, there is a huge difference between these two and I would rather teach her TRUE Godliness and not what gender-specific-ideas of what Godliness looks like. They should change the name from Passport to Identity to Passport to Womanhood to make it more accurate.PS. I also bought the passport to identity for young men for my husband to do with our son and listened to some of the audio to compare the teachings. Well, the boys' version is even worse. It goes to the extreme of saying that a young girl's role when she grows up is to be married and find great joy in serving as her husband's helper and supporter! -Forget the fact that many girls will grow up and glorify God in their singleness, like the children's pastor in my church. Oh, poor children's pastor! She has no purpose in this world and is defying God by not fulfilling the role God intended for her: to marry and find joy in being her husband's helper. And for us who do get married, our sole purpose is to support our husbands, not to minister to the poor and orphans, the unbelievers, not to make disciples and expand the Kingdom of God; no, we weren't made for that; we were made to help our husbands while they go and do that! It's so ironic how on they girls' version they teach the girls that there's so much they can do for the Kingdom within their "womanhood" limits and on the boys' version they say that girls' were specifically made to be their husband's helper, that's all they were created for. Wow!
