About the Book

Kids, It’s Time We Have THE TALK because doing the sex-thing or doing the drug-thing can ruin a kid’s life, but NOT doing The God-thing can ruin a kid’s eternity.

Using teachings from John Paul II, Fulton J. Sheen, Thomas Merton, Mother Teresa, and others, John R. VanBuskirk tells his kids about God & God-stuff, Living & Dying, Heaven & hell.

VanBuskirk explains the purpose of life to his twenty-something-year-old kids and the importance of getting through life rather than merely being successful in it. He challenges his kids to:
- Love the world more than any other creature God has ever given life to
- Possess the heart of a servant and add to what God has created as one of His co-creators and partners
- Know God in ways equal to the saints and angels in Heaven
- Achieve a special, personal intimacy with God – an intimacy that the angels might envy

Kids, It’s Time We Have THE TALK will help you keep First-Things-First. It will enable you to explain why First-Things are First-Things.

It’s the talk parents are obligated to have with kids. It’s the talk each of us is obligated to have with ourselves.


About the Author

John R. VanBuskirk was born and raised in Kansas City. He was educated at The University of Kansas in Lawrence and received his MBA at Rockhurst University in Kansas City. He and his wife Molly have four children – two out of college, one about to graduate, and one completing high school.

“Kids, It’s Time We Have THE TALK is the most important endeavor I’ve ever done,” the author comments. “For whatever reason, I’ve always taken God & God-stuff seriously. I can’t remember ever not praying or reading or writing about life, death, and eternity. I’ve always felt compelled to share what I have learned.”

Describing the value of the book, he adds, “Not only does THE TALK contain guidance from great Mystical writers, it’s an audit for one’s journey to eternity. It helps keep First-Things-First. It helps explain why First-Things are First-Things.”

In 2000, VanBuskirk published Secret of Fatima, an action and suspense novel centered on the ninety-year-old mystery. The novel was published by AuthorHouse. He’s currently finishing Ten Secrets Of Medjugorje, a sequel. HTML link
