Resisting Temptation Isn't Easy

Perry Skky, Jr. is a very talented high school football player, and he's being recruited by the best colleges. He's an A student and a popular guy in school. It seems a lot of girls want him, but he's not like his player friends, Damarius & Cole. Perry's heart belongs to one girl, and that's Tori. He desires to share all of himself with her, but Tori's Christian beliefs keep him from getting what he wants. Being a Christian himself, Tori's decision is the right choice for both of them, but Perry's relationship with the Lord is a bit off track, so he doesn't always have God's will in mind. He does, however, get to where honoring God becomes his top priority... eventually, that is. I don't know the first thing about football, so the many chapters about college recruiting and football games weren't interesting. But that's just me. However, Stephanie Perry Moore has enough knowledge about football to hold the attention of every reader who has an interest in this sport. Perry's relationships with his family, his boys (their situations helped him to start appreciating being abstinent), and the opposite sex (quite a bit of drama there) - that is what kept me turning the pages. Perry rededicates his life to God during the story, getting his walk with the Lord back on track. He intends to put God first in all that he does, and by the end of the story he is beginning a relationship with a girl who feels as strongly about pleasing God as he does. After reading this first book in the Perry Skky, Jr. Series, I did not hesitate to purchase Book 2 - Pressing Hard. I'm interested in finding out how well Perry resists temptation with his new girlfriend; someone he became attracted to when he claimed he was in love with Tori. I recommend this novel to teens and adults who love to read YA fiction. And as for young people who are reluctant readers, this could be the one that ignites a passion for reading.

Amazing Book

Being a Young African American Christian Male myself, this book indeed shows the stuggles that young men go through trying to live there lives on the straight and narrow with everything that swarms around the world. I have read the first two books in the series, and i plan on buying the next two. Great Book! Keep up the phenomenal work.

GIVE ME THE SEQUEL FAST!!!!!!

This is a great book for teens and young adults. It's hip and with the programme and talks about stuff that teens and young adults talk about and deal with on a daily basis. Things like curfew, sex, virginity, going steady, dealing with parents - it's all here. There's no preaching down or preaching at - just real talk. I'm a mother and I enjoyed the book. It also gave me MORE insight into what kids deal with today. Sometimes as adults, we forget what growing up is like. Even if you are not a christian you will enjoy this book.

Prime Choice

This book was one of the greatest books i have read from the male perspective. Never mind the male side, it was good period! Every book after this one just has to get even better!!!!

Finally Something for My Teenage Son

I admit I have not read this book, but my 15 year old son who HATES to read did so in ONE day. I had to beg him to read the first chapter. The next day I came home from work and he had finished it and preceeded to give me a chapter by chapter summary. I have never seen my son so excited about a book. He loved the characters and the story. He said he could relate to everything and the kids in the book were real people like the kind he goes to school with everyday. He is looking forward to the next one and so am I. I really appreciate this author blessing our lives with this book, because if my son couldn't put it down, it's got to be good!!!
