Dangerous Roads

What a great read! Once again, I thoroughly enjoyed Ms. Hergenrader's novel/devotional. What a fabulous story of one teenager, Phil's, cross country adventure to college and how he learns more about himself with each mile traveled. I think these books are wonderful for teenagers and parents alike. Parents, if you want to know the kinds of issues your kids are facing and how to help them deal with their pressures in a Christian way, then this book is for you. I'd like to give one to every teenager I know!

In Christina Hergenrader's latest book, Phil is at a crossroads in his life. Still healing from a painful break up with Katy (DOUBLE SHIFT), Phil heads to college with new step-brother Zak. But accidents aren't the only road hazards Phil faces. Phil's faith is challenged by easy access to drugs and alcohol. Zak's influence also threatens Phil's belief in God. But when Phil crosses the line and ends up in jail, he realizes he's been on a detour from what God wants and must find his way back to the true path. This book is an excellent read whether you're 9 or 99. Ms. Heregenrader probes complex issues of faith and temptation with finesse and candor. This book doesn't preach and Ms. Hergenrader is never heavy-handed in her approach to spirituality. A perfect book to read at the beach, with the family, even in the classroom.
