True Vol. 1: Real stories about God showing up in the lives of teens
Irene Dunlap
Paperback (Zondervan/Youth Specialties, Feb. 3, 2004)Welcome to Life. No one ever said it was gonna be easy. The reality is you're gonna meet up with some lies, betrayal, disappointments, pain... and that's all before lunch. Bad news, bad choices, bad luck can throw even the strongest person into a spiral of doubts and hard questions. Why is this happening? How will I make it? Where is God? The good news is--you're not alone. Meet some people that are on the same journey as you, who've experienced some of the same struggles that you have--and a few people who are still struggling. People who can honestly say, 'I've been there.' These stories, most by just regular teenagers, some from members of the bands Audio Adrenaline, PAX217, Slick Shoes, and rapper/actor T-Bone, cover it: from dealing with loss, addictions and unwelcome surprises, to surviving tragedies and life-threatening situations, to holding on to faith in the middle of life's messiness. If you've ever battled with believing in what you can't see, these real, raw, no-holds-barred stories will inspire you to hold on to hope--and to recognize God when He shows up, no matter what.
