Customer Reviews

relevant and non-cheesy!

I used this book to teach at our church's high school summer camp last year and it was excellent! The topics are "in-your-face" and REAL--not contrived Sunday School topics/answers. This book prompted great discussion in our small groups about what the BIBLE says about decision making and about all of the things of this Earth that can rob you of your pure and perfect relationship with Christ. I have shared my book with several friends who have teenage children since last year and they gave it rave reviews as well. EXCELLENT curriculum for high schoolers or even middle schoolers! The topics addressed are so relevant in our culture today and the examples and stories provided in the book are so applicable. GREAT BOOK!
