To have your prayers answered or to be constantly full of joy?- Which would be worse? To eat what you don't like or to crave what you can't have?- Which would be better? Fresh-baked, soft, chewy cookies or a nice thick, juicy steak?- Which would be worse? To have a parachute fail or to ski into a tree?

Customer Reviews

One of the best

This is one of the best adult to young person Q & A books on the market -- maybe THE best. No other book I've seen has this many questions ... and they're good questions; some thought provoking and tough, some hilarious and fun. That makes it a great value. But the main thing is that this book achieves its goal: getting young people to talk. It's great for families with kids or in group settings where an adult leader is wanting to "break the ice". Overtly Christian in its approach, but not "doctrinaire" or heavy-handed. Can you tell I love this book? Trust me, I wouldn't have written it and I certainly wouldn't have authored this shameless plug if I didn't think everyone that has regular contact with young people would benefit from Tough Topics.
