Every Teen Should Read

I bought this book because my 16 year old asked me to lead a home bible study for her and a few friends. I was not finding bible studies for teens that got my attention as I was looking for real life application. This book has that and soooo much more. One of my daughter's friends was not a believer. By the time we finished the 5th chapter she prayed and was saved. How amazing is that! The first 5 chapters cover basics and we all learned from them, plus we had an opportunity for a lot of discussion during the chapter and there were questions at the end. The remaining chapters are the real life application. We are still going through the book. The teens love it. I think it is valuable to have an adult go through the book with the teens as a sounding board, and because we can reflect on our past and share our experiences with the teens. I cannot recommend this book enough. It has been amazing and I am sure God put it in front of me.

This is a great book!

This book is good for those who don't know much about their faith, or need more explaination from others. I enjoyed the book but I already knew much of it. It did explain some things better to me. If they were to make another book about faith, I hope it would go more in depth on the subjects they only seemed to touch in this book, and ask/talk about more thought provoking questions. I recommend this book to all teens in need of a good spiritual book. (And to those who said this book is to long, I believe that your religion is not something that you can write simply if you want it to make any sense to you... that is why this book is this way, long but each subject is to the point.)

BEST CHRISTIAN TEEN GUIDE OUT THERE!

I have read most of the Taste Berries for Teen books, and really liked them. This book has the same great stories, but is also very different. I guess some people wanted it to be more like the Taste Berry books, but how could it be? I want somebody who knows a whole lot more about life and God than I do telling me how to live the Christian walk. To me, the best section is how to bring God into all aspects of your daily living. I have questions about life. No book I've seen yet has answered my questions as well as this one does. I feel I understand what it means to be a Christian better now.

Christian youth have many questions - they have questions about faith, about God, about being a Christian. They have many questions when tough times hit as do any of us. So where does a teen turn when they begin having questions? Who do they ask when so many adults have no clue how to talk with youth? The authors of this book have done an excellent job in pulling together the information and resources to answer the questions addressed - rather than your typical "does God exist" types of questions this book had questions like "How do I relate to people of other faiths?" and "Who is God and what is He like?" The personal reflection questions at the end of each chapter were great - very valuable questions intended to encourage thinking and help them understand what they read in relation to their own life. The end of the book contained amazing testimonies and stories from real life teens - a further emphasis of the message of the book alive and well in real life. This is a book any Christian can relate to - youth or adult. It contains the answers to the questions you hear from youth daily. Educate yourself first and then share this book with all the youth you know. It is well worth the time to read.
