It's Only A Candy Bar

by Evan Gratz

Everyone's life tells a story…What's yours?
Have you ever wondered if your life matters? Or felt like you're the only one who feels a certain way, specially when it comes to faith?
It's Only A Candy Bar is a fictional story inspired by real experiences in the life of Evan Gratz, a full-time youth pastor. It is a story that follows Evan from Minnesota to California to a youth ministry call at a new church. Evan and his wife pick up everything and move out west. And then the story begins... Complete with a chapter by chapter Questions to Ponder and Discuss section at the end of the book, It's Only A Candy Bar provides an authentic portrayal of what real life looks like in ministry and what can happen when a seemingly unreachable student is reached out to. This is a story that reminds us that there is hope and God truly does hold even the most hopeless situations all in His hand.

A successful youth group worker wrote a novel based on his real experiences. It bothered me not knowing what was fiction and what wasn't, but it's a good read for those of us with a heart for the kids.
