If there were more then 5 stars I would give it a 100

I use this book everyday...it is so easy to find that exact scripture you are looking for. The intro of the book says for teens, but THIS BOOK is for everyone! I HIGHLY recommend this book to everyone.

Must have book for teens, youth leaders and parents.

This book is set up in categories that teens deal with and then for each category it lists verses that correspond with that category. Unlike a lot of scripture by subject book that list adult topics, this one has topics like peer pressure, drug use, abortion, alcohol, appearance, astrology, beauty, cults, dating, depression, fear, gossip, homosexuality, love, lust, porn and many others...topics that teens really do seek answers to. The really great thing about this book is that Ive found that there have been times when my concordance didnt produce results about a particular subject but this little book did. Another great thing about this book is that it makes a great reference for those times when we actually have to have a sit down face to face talk with a youth about somehting thats big in their life and this gives us fast facts without scaring our youth with a big fat bible. Ive found that youth will pick up this little reference book and find what they need but the task of finding quick answers int he bible is often to tough so they give up. Sometimes all they need is one scripture to cling to but if it means reading chapter after chapter to find it, they wont bother. Naturally, it has a lot of other great topics too, but I just listed a few of the obvious ones---but seriously, it is a must have.

Excellent for all ages

I discovered this book from my Sunday School teacher several years ago, and I have loved it ever since! I literally cannot keep myself a copy because I enjoy giving it away to everyone. It is an excellent tool for finding appropriate verses about nearly every topic from abortion to dancing. I couldn't imagine planning for a lesson without this book! I truly feel that everyone would be more than pleased with this selection. God bless!

Great Resource!

A great list of topics that young adults often have to deal with and find Biblical answers concerning. Has references and includes the actual verse! It also usually ends each section with a verse of hope, something that is so often forgotten. The only problem I have is very cosmetic- the cover is fluorescent orange. It may have been a "cool" color when published, but teens these days may have problems with displaying it on a bookshelf. However, the information inside is worth a book cover. Get a copy- it's good for adults too!!

Armed to face the world's questions

Armed and Dangerous provides a quick and easy reference to some of life's toughest issues, especially for teens and college students. It focuses on Biblical "advice" to subjects such as anxiety, attitude, death, faith, and 105 other topics. It would be a perfect gift for a high school graduate!
