Customer Reviews

Great book!

I would reccommend to all parents for their kids! Christian based. I bought to give to a client and have kept so I can use it as a resource in individual and group counseling settings. Great book!! A must have!!

Great book for teens

Bought this as a confirmation gift for my godson, who is 16. I only paged through it a bit, but it had wonderful topics that apply to that age, such as peer pressure, confidence, etc. The chapters discussed these topics, and gave a bible verse which I assume was thought provoking and topic-based. What a great little book and idea. I am buying another for my son, and the similarly titled books for women and for leaders (my hubby).

A wonderful compilation

This book is a great encourager and affirmer for teens. Wonderful reflections, ideas, suggestions and all presented in a well organized manner.

Great for Teens and their Parents!

Having the opportunity to teach the "after school Bible study" for pre-teens, some of which have had no interaction with the Bible, I searched and found this 'Ultimate Handbook'. I showed it to several of the parents of the children involved, and the parents are picking out which lessons I should teach next with great excitment!This book shows these pre-teens how the Bible relates to their lives, wheather it is "over-reacting" (teens don't do that!), "self acceptance", or dealing with rumors, cliques or gossip. These topics can all be found in the Bible, but the Bible is a big book, and this handbook not only covers it, but shows kids where in the Bible to find the answers. In addition, it talks to the kids using the "proper lingo". Some of the chapter titles are "Dissed" (dealing with respect), "Let's get Real" (dealing with honesty), and "Totally Awesome" (Maintaining a Sense of Wonder).There are also chapters that are more suited for the high school students such as "Weight of the Wait" (Sex and Intimacy), "The Ex-Files" (Handling breakups), and "Endless Possibilities" (Planning for the Future). The basketball coaches are so excited about the values and life-coping lessons in this book - those that they are unable to teach at the public school, that they are cancelling basketball practice (one day a week) so the children can attend the study! My turnout for the study has been about 98% of the 5th thru 8th graders in the whole school................... What else can I say.............. if the kids come to listen, it must be worthwhile!
