The Rules: Ten to Live by

by Mark Nicholas

Life is hard. We live in a world where we hear about terrorist bombings, sniper killings, and school shootings almost daily. Teens face challenges at school--struggling to make the right decisions when they are just starting to learn who they really are. They feel the pressure as much as anyone, and long for a sense of balance and comfort in their lives. By reading The Rules , a teen will understand God's perfect plan for his/her life using the basic boundaries that He has set for us. The reader will clearly see the benefits that will come when s/he follows God's rules for living the good life. Avoiding legalism, Mark Nicholas addresses issues teens face daily, makes the Ten Commandments relevant to those issues, and uses references from popular culture to bring the message home. It's a must read for any teen

Common sense and straightforward advice

For the first time in my life, I am beginning to understand what the Ten Commandments mean in every day life for a young adult like me. The author makes God's plan for good living very relevant by showing how keeping the Commandments can help me deal with the problems I face in today's troubled world. He doesn't get preachy and he doesn't get bogged down in technicalities. The book is straight talk and it hit home with me.
