A must-read for all, especially in this generation where more children have an attitude of "Entitlement".

I’ve been a big fan of the original for many years. As a family with three late-teen children at present, we have spent time listening to the original book at least twice before when they were quite young, and again as adolescents, because it is filled with so much great life-changing advice and examples of how to have good relationships, I am certain that much of the advice has become second-nature to them, as all three of my children have many lasting friendships and long-term, romantic relationships.
When I see someone talking too much and it is obvious they are trying to impress others with how interesting they are, it always makes me sad and wish that ALL humans were exposed to the truths in this book had an early age, but it is never too late!
I was very excited to find both updates of the book, and immediately bought them both. I have finished the one for teen girls, and kept thinking of a couple of girls in particular who have always struggled with making and keeping friends. It is “Dale Carnegie-light”, but certainly written in a fresh and engaging style that would appeal to that age group.
I’m inviting one of these girls to ride with me to get a coffee so we can listen to it on the way! I am very hopeful and almost certain that she will get a lot of positive responses whenever she practices these new skills!

The Great Controversy is the story of how the forces of good triumph over the forces of evil. The story picks up with the destruction of Jerusalem and continues down the ages to the present. It is a story of truth and how it was lost by many, but not all then gradually rediscovered by the broader Christian community through the Reformation. It climaxes with the eschaton and delineates how we in the present can navigate the final moments of earth's history.

Amazing history of the world, Christianity, good and evil. But wait, there’s more! Provides understanding and context of current events, then goes on to explain Bible prophecies about end times and how to be prepared so you are not deceived.

I Don't Have Enough Faith to be an Atheist

I Don't Have Enough Faith to Be an Atheist argues that Christianity requires the least faith of all worldviews because it is the most reasonable. The authors lay out the evidence for truth, God, and the Bible in logical order and in a readable, non-technical, engaging style. A valuable aid to those interested in examining the reasonableness of the Christian faith, Geisler and Turek provide a firm challenge to the prior beliefs of doubters and skeptics.

Faith of an Atheist?

If you have doubts…read this book!

The authors deftly explain evidences for God and the truths found only in Christianity using examples from the universe and natural law; citing historical, secular sources that confirm the authenticity of the Bible; and numerous other convincing explanations would be hard to refute by someone genuinely seeking truth.
They wisely agree that you can’t fully explain God - for how can a finite being begin to understand the infinite? But they do include a multitude of proofs for belief in God, the Bible, and the path to eternal life in chapter after chapter, citing specific examples.
I felt that one of the most profound thoughts in this book was that God gives us enough evidence for his existence, love, and plan of salvation to convince one to believe, but not enough to compel one to believe. He wants us to have free choice to ask him into our life or not, and overwhelming evidence would remove that freedom.
The authors have also done an excellent job exploring claims of truth from other major religions - revealing that Christianity is the only means for salvation and eternal life.
If you read this and aren’t convinced, I think this quote from Barry Levinthal will apply…
“There are none who are as deaf as those who do not want to hear.”
