I teach 8th grade English in a Christian Academy. Every morning I start off by reading a devotional from this book. I have no discipline problems, and I believe it to be because I start off each day with a devotional. I spent a lot of time searching for a book that I could use, and this one was by far the best.
Everyone has doubts about their faith. At one time or another, everyone has thought that somehow Jesus just couldn't be real, couldn't always be right beside you as your best friend, couldn't lift you out of the pits of depression or weakness. Whenever you feel like you don't know which way to go, this daily devotional can help. I'm not even a third of the way through my copy yet and I am already aware of how my faith has been strengthened. A really terrific quality this devotional has is it tells a real-life position of an everyday teenager, and then relates it to actual scripture in the Bible. This devotional really introduced me to the Bible and how I can understand and interpret it to relate to me. It allows me to really think about what Jesus would do, and when I have doubts, it, along with the Bible, helps to relieve my anxieties. I like to just read some entries over and over again and just taste the sweet lemonade of Jesus's love. I recommend this to anyone and everyone that would like to have a few minutes each day with Jesus.
This is a great devotional for older youth. My kids were a bit young for some of the stories in there (like premarital sex, etc). When I realized it was too old for my 7 & 9 year olds, I gave it to my 12-year-old nephew.
This was my first teen devotional, and I was impressed by the uniqueness of this book! This book really helped me a lot in my everyday life. I sensed God talk to me in the pages of this book. I belive it will help out a lot of teens, as it helped me. It features real day-to-day experiences that teens like me can relate. Once I started reading a page a day, I never stopped having my quiet time with the Lord!
What a blessing this book has been to me and my family. We have been using it for about a year in our devotions before we begin the day of homeschooling. A relative of mine who attends college, was looking for a devotional book for her Bible study group so we sent her one as well. I hope "the word has gotten out" on what a great book it is.
I used this book with teens for a Bible study breakfast a few years back and have not found anything this GOOD!! wish there was another like it!
