Are you a Teen or Young Adult  ? Wanting a non-fiction Christian Book that you can relate to?


God's Story, Your Story: Youth Edition (Story, The)
Review: God's Story- Your Story : The Youth Edition - Max Lucado - September 2011
I guarantee that if you call yourself a Christian, then there is no way that you have not heard of Max Lucado. As someone who has grown up with God and enjoyed reading Christian fiction and non-fiction , I have found that one of my favourite authors is Max Lucado as he writes in a style and language that young people can relate to.
"God rewrote the text of my life , when I opened the book of my heart to his eyes"
2 Samuel 22v 25.
Ever wondered how you can relate the Bible , something that was written over 2000yrs ago to your self today and what is happening around you ? In God's Story, Your Story Max Lucado takes us on a journey throughout the New Testament in search for how God's word can help shape you into who you are today and what paths to take in order to live and follow in his ways.
Each chapter takes us into a world of it's own from becoming a Superhero in God as Max likens it to Spiderman and Luke Skywalker , the chapter then focuses on a tale in the Bible , the first of Jesus's Birth with Joseph and Mary , the story is written in a way that you could also imagine that it was happening right now instead of over 2000yrs ago, also included which I love in these types of books are ancedotes from everyday teens and young adults - people who are just like you and me.
The book has bible verses scattered through and at the end of each Chapter has a prayer for us to read and thank God.
This is one book that I would recommend as a Bible study at a Youth Group or Young Adults Group as we could all discuss what each chapter meant for us etc.
As usual , a familiar occurence in Christian books both Fiction and Non-Fiction , at the back of the book are some discussion questions to think about, answer and reflect on each chapter.

Review: Steel Princess - Book #2 Royal Elite Series - Rina Kent - December 2019 At the end of Book #1, we were left on a cliffhanger of Elsa being pushed into the pool. At the beginning of book #2, she is saved by a newcomer to the school - Knox.  We can see some friendly flirting but nothing more going on between these two, but it riles up Aiden who still has this mindset of "if I can't have her, no-one can" especially since he is supposed to be engaged to Silver Queens. During Book #2 Elsa starts to recall some more memories and goes to Dr.Khan in hopes that he can open her Pandora's box and can restore her full memories of what happened before she was seven years old. We also catch a glimpse during this book of her past and why Aiden King's father blames her for his mother's death and why Aiden considered Elsa a ghost. I liked this book as it was more intense with Elsa's memories and past returning. In Book #2 it is revealed about he...

  Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas - October 2016 As soon as I read Bully by Penelope Douglas, I was in love with this author. So when she released a new one who had my favorite theme of penpals and that whole friend to lovers going on, I knew I had to read it. The book started out with a bit of background where we learned about how Misha and Ryen were placed together in a classroom project penpal program. The pair continues to write to each other right through the year, and then they take it to the next level and continue through the rest of their schooling. Fast forward to high school Misha is in a band and Ryen is out with her friends and they complete a scavenger hunt form. Ryen is not what Misha expected especially from her letters. Tragedy occurs, and Misha turns up at Ryen's school under a fake name. This doesn't go over too well as Ryen is nothing like her letters, in fact, she is as fake as can be and Misha aka Masen hates her, in fact, she...
