"This is a YA read, but adults will also enjoy and learn from this fast-paced book. I started it with every intention of reading a few chapters before bed. Five hours later I had devoured the entire book. The characters are beautifully flawed and I found myself cheering for them when they couldn’t cheer for themselves. There are some hard, but real, issues addressed in this book. I appreciate that Beckie Lindsey addresses topics that are often ignored and spotlights the reality that there is more going on that what we may ever see with our eyes. This is a great read for teens who are fighting their own battles, as well as adults who would like insight into the struggles of today’s teens and young adults face."

5 Ways to Fight Distraction During Prayer
The shrill of my alarm clock draws me from a deep sleep. I pull a robe over my shoulders and shuffle like a zombie to the coffee pot. Usually, no one else is up this early except the cats. It’s a good thing too because I'm not a pretty sight. And anyone who has...

Faith and Losing a Loved One to Suicide

The Dangers of Comparison and What to Do About it
“His piece of cake is bigger than mine!” “She’s smarter, more attractive and will probably get the job over me.” “Looking at a few ‘questionable’ videos and sites is not having an affair like most people.” “I wish my husband were more like …” Comparison seems to be...
