Customer Reviews

Upbeat and honest

I expected this to be a typical "Christian" book, with references to Bible verses and characters. What I found instead was an entertaining compilation of true stories, told without tidy morals at the end. Once I got over my preconceived notion, and stopped searching for summaries, I found exactly what the title promised: Sage Advice: stories from seasoned youth workers. I especially appreciate the authors' candor. Even the most gifted person, with the best intentions, has occasional regrets and missteps; and the authors admit those. I noticed a printer's error and a couple of grammatical errors (eg. bare/bear), but the book was written in a lively style. The title and cover art are clever. Any person - parent, teacher, mentor - who deals with young people can find positive guidance and reassurance in this book.
