Not afraid to talk about the tough stuff

A lot of Christian books for teens stay away from the real issues. This book doesn't and it's encouraging to know that God can change a life like this. Loved the quotes from teens, the stories, and especially the poetry written by teens. Very cool book.

Honest, awesome, written just for teens - I loved it!

This book kept my interest from the first word to the last. It was honest and real and didn't talk down or preach about issues that matter to teens. It was open and honest and identified with the things that teens face, but showed God to be powerful and merciful. Perfect gift for a teen from a parent, grandparent or anyone who knows a teen who needs to know that God is not afraid of the tough stuff. In fact, he's HUGE in our lives and can walk with us through whatever we face and not only bring us out on the other side, but change our lives forever. He's awesome. This book is awesome.

Real Teens, Real Stories, Real Life

The format of the book "Real Teens, Real Stories, Real Life" by T. Suzanne Eller, lends itself to easy reading. Each chapter is a touching real life experience by young folks in their early teens to mid twenties. The stories tell of their personal downward spiral into the pit of lying, stealing, physical abuse, drugs, porn, occult, sex, pregnancy, homosexuality, and some of them jail. Their life and death stories are made even more significant by the fact that hundreds of our nation's teens are moving in the same direction. Intervention is needed.This book is one of hope, of overcoming, of climbing out of the pit. Each of the teens tell their story because they did find help, they did find a way to "do a 180°". These teens were from different states across our nation and yet the common thread to the answer is through God. T. Suzanne Eller is a cancer survivor who has written a book that will help other teens, parents of teens and those who work with teens. I'm a grandmother of teens and heartily recommend the book.

VERY Good Book!!

This book is so powerful. I acutally was one of the people that had a testimony in it. I love to hear and read testimonies of how God changes peoples' lives. This book is a valuable resource, I have already purchased 10 extras to hand out to new believers and friends who also love testimonies!! It's fantastic to see how God still moves today, in the most screwed up lives, and bring His sons and daughers up out of the mud and sets them on mountains!! Hallelujah!! You will be very blessed if you get this book!

Awesome and true Reality

I bought the book and read the entire thing in a day. I must say the trueness and the reality of it touched me deeply. The teens Suzie wrote were teens that have gone through some of the everyday problems that most teens go through these days. I know one story in particular touched me. It talked about looking in God mirror than worrying about what everyone else thought about you. It was really great and I would recommend it to all and any. Rock On Suzie.
