Every girl is a beautiful creation, uniquely equipped by God to do His work in the world. But as girls are growing, changing, and making choices about the kinds of lives they will lead, they are bombarded with conflicting messages about what it means to be a woman. The media says one thing, boys say another, and friends seem obsessed with whatever is newest and coolest. As a result, girls too often hand their decisions over to those least qualified to make them. Into the breach steps Elizabeth George, bestselling author and beloved Bible teacher. With wisdom, gentleness, and tremendous grace, she guides tween girls ages 8 to 12 through the most challenging decisions they face, teaching them to let God—not the world—define who they are. Discussing such topics as attitude, friendships, crushes, parents, school, and avoiding bad situations, Elizabeth helps girls see that the very best choice of all is a choice to live within God’s will. Perfect for individuals, small groups, and mentoring.

An easy way to help young boys see God’s promises and how they can rely on His love in their daily lives. The promise verses in this book are selected from the bestselling International Children’s Bible® to offer comfort and encouragement when a boy is feeling afraid, lonely, worried, angry, dissatisfied, discouraged, sad, rebellious, impatient, or sick . . . and when they need reassurance of God’s protection, love, forgiveness, help . . . and that He listens when they pray. It’s a great way for children to hide God’s Word in their hearts. Sample text: Sometimes it’s hard to tell the truth when you feel like you have something to hide.

You must not tell lies." Psalms 34:12-13

Making Good Choices is a life guide for teens. The premise of Choices is that there are a number of life lessons which, if they are understood and acted on early in a students life, can have a profound positive impact. This book reinforces values and moral behavior. Choices draws a distinct line between good and bad, helping students to understand the long term consequences of the two. It explains the importance of roles and relationships between a teen and his parents, siblings, friends and teachers. Choices takes the various tools available to the average young student and helps him chart a course of success in life. Choices should be read before, as preparation for, a book like What Color is Your Parachute. The difference between this book and What Color is Your Parachute is that it concentrates on the root causes of failure and unhappiness and not just the end goal of a good paying job. There are many reasons why some of us are not ready to zero in on the color of our parachute. This book is for those average students who first need to find their humanity, empathy, sense of community and self worth before they go blazing into the world. This book is for the student whose potential is not the concern of any other book.

A Guy's Guide to Life: How to Become a Man in 224 Pages or Less is a teenage guy’s handbook to becoming a man with a healthy mind, body, and soul. What does society want of teen guys?

The challenges are many, and we haven't even mentioned the most important-and most frightening-topic of conversation: girls. The road to manhood is a perilous one. Guys need a guidebook, one that asks and answers the questions they're reluctant to discuss. They need a book that addresses the myths of manhood with a straightforward approach teenage guys will appreciate and absorb. Author Jason Boyett understands what many fail to realize—that somewhere between the awkwardness and braggadocio, the goofiness and the developing body, there is a real person struggling to make his mark on the world.
