Gifted youth leader Mark Hart knows teens inside and out, and as the Bible Geek(R), he asks and answers the real questions that puzzle them. Dealing realistically and honestly with concerns about God, temptations, personal issues, daily life, and more, the Bible Geek(R) speaks encouragement to the minds and hearts of kids. His solutions to typical situations teens wonder about are rooted in Scripture and the Catholic tradition. Questions range from the sublime (Where is God?) to the apparently ridiculous (Would Jesus chew gum?). Kids love it!
Great resource for teens, either those personally interested, or as topical discussions for parish youth groups. Written specifically with high appeal for teens - this is one of two books. Both are very useful if you work with teens in a Catholic school, home, or parish!
Mark Hart is certainly a better speaker than he is a writer. I have seen him speak live, and he is absolutely incredible and touching; he has even brought me to tears. Yet, I found this book lacking depth and substance, especially the last section. However, I do think this book is great for teens or even for those in other age groups that are new to the faith! I think this book can open doors for many, especially with the carefully chosen Bible verses that can be inspiring and educational. :) I love Mark Hart and the work he does for the Lord!
