A Timely Resource for Teens

This resource is a lovely collection of prayers. Despite its "Orthodox Teen" label, Christians of all ages can benefit from the encouragement and help that it contains. Boyd has done a great work, unifying prayers, quotes, and scriptures for the strengthening of the reader's soul.

A Private Couseling Session

I was so happy to have found this book. I have teenagers at home, and teen-aged grandchildren, also. I read through the book before giving it to any of them (I bought 3 copies), and was so thoroughly impressed with how well the author understands teens and the problems they face as Christian young people in the world today. Really, as I was reading, it was like a private counseling session, because, besides the prayers, Ms. Boyd presents typical situations a teenager may find him or herself in: "I've committed a big sin and am afraid to tell anyone", "I keep committing the same sin over and over again" (strike a bell?), "I feel betrayed by a friend", and so many more! This little volume could save a life, or at least, bring a troubled teenager closer to God and his or her faith. Thank you so much, Ms. Boyd, for this precious little volume. I'm sure it will be put to good use by all, not just teenagers!

spiritual first aid

I really like the format of this Prayer Book. It begins with the prayers we are familiar with. The rest of the book is like a first aid kit for situations teens often face. There are many topics listed, each one with a Saint who will help us and scripture references that tell us what God says about it. These topics can be tough. Eating disorders, friends who are pressing you to take drugs, abuse. This is the kind of material our teens (Orthodox and non-Orthodox) need to read.
