Customer Reviews

Excellent Writing

Originally brought this book for my pre-teen daughter because she read all the books in the "Carmen Browne" pre-teen series. I read this book first and decided it was not for pre-teens. The story lines are too mature for her now. Because the stories are true to life and well written, I plan to save them for her to read later. Mrs. Moore has an excellent way of addressing real life issues and demonstrating how young people can make God honoring choices in each situation. By the way, I read the next book too!

Trouble on Every Hand...But Payton Endures

Book #3 and what can I say, the list goes on with issues that our youth are faced with in day to day life. Shows the true way to cope and deal with those issues, and not lose your faith. What will Payton encounter next? I anxiously await the next book.

Spiritually Felt

After being saved for almost two years now, I just wish that I had these books back in my time. The teens growing up in this day and age really need Christian books like this to relate too. Even though I am in my mid 30's this book has really been a God sent. I have even started my teenage cousin, who is now a sophomore in high school to read this series. This is a type of book that can lead to great discussion sessions with a teen group.

da bomb

This is great book. I got finished reading it in three hours!!! Let me tell you;I could not put that book down. I can't wait untill I get "The Sweetest Gift". "Staying Pure","Sober Faith",and "The Saved Race", are all very exciting books for young teens of any race.I understand Payton and her way of thinking,the experiences that she goes through can relate with every day life.

What a way to wrap up an amazing year for Payton!

I bought all three books at a conference and planned to put them away for my daughters for when they are in junior high & high school. I decided to preview them and couldn't put them down. All three books tie in together so well and the characters are great. I think everyone who reads them will know of a person who is similar to someone in here. The messages delivered through the characters are great and this one tackles a few common problems people face today like racism. I pray God introduces a Tad Taylor into my daughter's life when she starts dating! Share it with a young adult that you care about. It's a great way to reach out to them and to let them know God is in their life and will never let them down.
