The Parent & Mentor Guide includes the full Ashley’s Whisper story along with integrated discussion notes, reflection prompts, and apologetic insights drawn from leading scholars.

It is designed for adults to use alongside the Preteen Edition, helping you follow along with the story your child is reading while giving you the educational framework to guide conversations that matter.

If you have a preteen in your life, it is recommended that you get both the Parent & Mentor PDF and the standalone Preteen PDF. The intertwined notes in this version are written for adults and are not meant for preteens. I am not sure about your preteen, but mine would read chapter one, see the parent commentary, and decide right then it was too preachy and not for them. Getting both gives your preteen space to read and you a place to follow along with the educational points.

What Parents & Mentors Are Facing

Faith questions rarely arrive with notice. Kids start wondering about God’s silence or fairness, and adults suddenly find themselves unsure how to respond without shutting the conversation down.

Many feel unprepared to explain deep truths in simple ways. When a child asks, “Why doesn’t God answer?” or “How do I know He’s real?”, it takes more than a quick response. Caregivers need language that is both honest and hopeful.

Meanwhile, culture moves faster than discipleship. Online voices often shape belief and identity long before families have the chance to talk about faith together.

When the questions are left unanswered, silence becomes a missed opportunity. Kids may begin to believe that doubt means disbelief, when it is often the first step toward deeper understanding.

What’s Inside

Parent & Mentor Guide – Companion Edition (Including the Intertwined Story)

A side-by-side tool with chapter insights, reflection prompts, and psychological context drawn from authors like Os Guinness and Gary Habermas.

You’ll gain a framework for:

• Talking about Divine Hiddenness in child-friendly ways

• Recognizing emotional doubt before it becomes spiritual crisis

• Turning tough questions into discipleship conversations

• Building relational trust through honesty and empathy

Friendly note: the Parent Guide includes the story, but it is woven into the lessons and not designed as a stand-alone kids’ read.

Why This Guide Matters

This project began from a simple truth: faith questions are not failures, they are invitations.
As I wrote Ashley’s Whisper, I realized parents and mentors needed their own roadmap. This guide was built to equip caring adults with apologetics that meets coaching, bringing faith concerns into everyday conversations.

Through Nadeau Ministries LLC, I now lead this AI-assisted storytelling project after completing a Master’s in Christian Apologetics with a practical emphasis at Colorado Christian University. My passion is to create safe spaces where belief and curiosity can grow together, one family conversation at a time.
