Road Trip

By David Jeremiah

Book Overview

After signing a contract with a major recording company, Redemption's dreams are coming true. Chloe, Allie, and Laura begin their concert tour with the good-looking guys in the popular band Iron Cross. Allie's mom and her brother with Down's syndrome add a little variety to their entourage. But as soon as the glitz and glamour wear off, the girls find life on the road a little overwhelming. Even solid, well-balanced Laura appears to be feeling the stress - and Chloe isn't quite sure how to confront her about the growing signs of drug addiction... we want it all, or so we say / but what gets lost along the way? / along the road to riches, fame / we know we'll never be the same The guys in Iron Cross occupy Chloe's thoughts a little more than she cares to admit. Still, life on the road gets less and less glamorous and more and more overwhelming-especially when solid, well-balanced Laura begins acting strange. Her hostility toward Chloe's concern makes the girls wonder how much longer they can keep their act together... Story Behind the Book Over the years, I have worn many hats, from pre-school teacher to Young Life leader to political activist to senior editor. But most of all I love to write In the past few years, I have published more than ninety books for children, teens, and adults. I hope the Diary of a Teenage Girl series will impact the lives of teens through an honest and gutsy approach of a "diary style" book.

Prayer the great adventure

Dr Jeremiah hits the bulls eye once again!! I now have a deeper appreciation and understanding of the Lord's prayer and my own prayer life with Christ..... If you want a greater relationship with your Savior this is a no brainer! 5 stars!

Wonderful Book on Prayer

Dr. David Jeremiah's book PRAYER, THE GREAT ADVENTURE is an excellent book on developing a solid, biblical prayer life. The outlines that Dr. Jeremiah uses are well worth the price of this book. Each chapter examines various aspects of prayer from the basics of prayer to spiritual warfare to praying in the Spirit. The book covers nearly every aspect of prayer and as you would expect from a skilled teacher such as Dr. Jeremiah, he stays true to his text. I higly recommend this book on prayer. It will add to your prayer life and give you a rich understanding of what the Bible says about prayer.

If You Ask Anything in My Name (John 14:14)

Dr. Jeremiah's teaching from the Lord's Prayer (Matthew 6) and Christ's High Priestly prayer (John 17) flow directly out of the conviction and passion of his heart that we "have not because we ask not." After providing more-than-adequate arguments for the necessity of prayer, he goes on to plainly, powerfully and purposefully set out a "roadmap for prayer" from the Lord's Prayer. Worship, God's Will, Our Needs, Forgiveness and Protection are the basic building blocks he uses to construct a pattern for personal prayer. This is an excellent resource for any Christian--whether your prayer life languishes or flourishes. One Caution: if you listen to Dr. Jeremiah's weekly radio program and thought to read this book as a supplement to the sermon series of the same name (Prayer, the Great Adventure), you should know that the text of chapters 4-10 (and parts of 1-3) are verbatim the same as the audio messages. One Exhortation: if you don't listen to Turning Point (or missed the series Prayer, the Great Adventure), READ THIS BOOK! This represents the best of Dr. Jeremiah's teaching and some of the best teaching on the subject of prayer I've run across.

Help to launch readers into their own adventure in prayer

Prayer takes on greater urgency for Jeremiah, pastor and radio host, when he learns he has cancer. He shares personal discoveries and biblical truths in an effective teaching style, inviting readers to join the adventure. Written in three parts, The Adventure Begins considers Jesus' general teachings on prayer and answers commonly-asked questions. The major portion, "Digging for Gold," mines precious nuggets from the Lord's Prayer. Finally, "See How It Glitters," teaches prayer lessons from John 17. Excerpts from Jeremiah's personal prayer journal are scattered throughout the books as examples of keeping a prayer journal, which is highly recommend.
