By Lorraine Peterson

Book Overview

It's Time to Give God a Piece of Your Mind What's on your mind? Is it your biology final? Is it the fight you just had with your best friend? Is it Jesus? Staying close by Him is the best way to make it through this crazy life, but it can be hard to keep Jesus on your mind morning, noon, and night, especially when so many people think that being a Christian means you're weak, naive, or uncool. As a result, maybe you find yourself at the most exclusive parties just to prove that you're not the boring loser your classmates think you are. But you don't need to prove yourself to them, and here's why: God's opinion of you is the one that really matters. He is the only one who completely understands you, and He wants to help. This book, filled with enough devotionals for an entire year, equips you to hold fast to values like maintaining sexual purity, having a good work ethic, and being a great friend. Rediscover the power of God's love, and you'll remember why it was so important for you to stick by Him in the first place.

We like it

I got this for my daughter because I liked the title. Her first experiences with trying to open a locker weren't good, so she could really relate to it. LOL! She tells me she likes the devotions in this book. There are 365 devos in here.

God book

This is a really good book for middle school - high school age kids. I recieved this book as a gift from a friend because everyday i had the worse time at opening up my locker. I read it off and on...now a couple years later I have revisited it and found it very enlightning. May fave idea from the book is...give it to God cause there is nothing you can do about it with out him.

my guide

years ago i picked this book up from my church's library and took it to work with me. it turns out that this book changed my life. reading it opened my eyes to accept Christ. i've been looking for it ever since. it cuts straight to the chase and gives clear reasons for following God.

A No-frills, Straight to the Point Devotional

After searching a long time to find a devotional just right for me I picked this one up a my local library. Unlike many of the devotional guides I've encountered this one is very direct and doesn't waste a lot of space trying to keep you entertained. It speaks right to the point, without being too blunt or preachy. Althought it's not especially funny it WILL draw you closer to God. If your looking for a real condensed devotional, then this is the book for you; if you want something more lighthearted, try one of Martha Bolton's books. I'm so glad God gave me this book!!!!

Hand of God

It was awhile back when I recieved this book as a gift. I can't recall who gave it to me, or even why. I do remember it setting on my bedside table and picking it up from time to time. I remember that each time a read one of those short chapters that I understood a little more about God and my personal relationship with Him. I felt closer to Him. I thank God for giving me this book. It was a significant step in my journey.
