The Power of a Praying Teen

I have read several of Stormie's books for women and adults, and knew that her selection for teens would be great to share with my mentees. I wasn't disappointed. This book is very appropriate for teens 13-17 and covers topics necessary for young believers. The book has much spiritual meat for teens; it doesn't just gloss over subjects but digs deep and confronts your current thinking while inspiring you to move closer to God by doing his Word and through prayer. The chapters are just 5-7 pages, giving opportunities to practically apply the Word Stormie shares in increments. The topic mirror those in her other books on prayer, so I recognized the concepts immediately. I think this speaks volumes to the integrity of the topics covered--what is appropriate for adults and their walk with God is essential, practical, and do-able for teens. Stormie's approach isn't cheesy or corny and is currently being well received by my mentees who are 16 from an urban area. I cannot recommend this highly enough for parents, older siblings, or mentors to pass along and read with their teens.

This book is doing exactly what I hoped it would do. I gave this to my teenaged son and it is truly blessing him. I would recommend this book for anyone who is raising a teenager.

I brought this book for my son during the middle of the year, like most teens he threw it aside, because readinging for school and his bible seem enough for him. Later on he picked it up and to my surprise began to read and share a lot of the contents of the book with his friends. He has been difficult since his dad left. This book deals with real life issues for him and appears easy enough for him to continue reading. He has not finished, but he pours over the pages with him bible next to him. I am in awe of the amount of time spent back and forth from the book to his bible. I think teens kids will get more they bargain for when they read this book.

Prayer is something that really lacks in a teen's life from my experience. This book shows that it is a neccessity in life. It also shows that any problems with may deal with that God can be there to help you through it all. All you need is the connection with him through prayer. I recommend you buying this for your kid, or buying this for yourself.
