I received an e-copy of this book in exchange for my honest opinion. Thank you NetGalley and Barbour Books!
Evev though I am not a teenager anymore (I am 23), I was drawn to this book. I don't read non-fiction books very often but when I do I really appreciate when they have impact on me.
As you can see from the title, this book is aimed at young people who believe in God. As I still consider myself young, I decided to read it despite of my age. I have believed in God for my whole life so I was curious to learn something new.
I have to say that I didn't learn anything new but that doesn't mean that I learnt nothing. All the info provided in this little book had been already known to me as I grew up believing in God. BUT! It was very useful to see all the info in this form so it reminded me some things I chose not to follow or deal with.
As for the form, you can already guess it from the title. The book is divided into 80 chapters. Each of the chapters starts with a question. The question is then followed by the a verse from the Bible that is somehow relevant to the question. Finally, there's a part when the author answers the question and comments on a certain problem. The chapters are nicely short. You know, when you read a non-fiction book and you read a certain chapter for ages and then you get lost. This doesn't happen with this books as the chapters are literally 2-3 pages long!
I also know that sometimes you just cannot read a non-fiction book from start to finish. I appreciate that you can just find a certain chapter with the question you are interested in and you can keep the rest of the book for some other time. It is a really nice guide.
I also appreciate that there is a section at the end of the book where you can write your own notes. I always have so many thoughts when I read something religion/belief related and it is definitely a nice bonus to have the place to write your thoughts to.
I definitely recommend this book to the teenagers. I think I may be 5 years too old for this book but I still enjoyed reading it and recommending myself what believing in God means and how my life should look like. Also I think people who have just become Christians could very well benefit from this book as it really gives answers to the most of the basic questions Christians usually ask.
And one last think I want to mention. I think every person who believes in God has met with a person who doesn't believe but wants to know their answers to certain questions! Sometimes it gets very hard and we do not know how to answer. Personally, I always felt really bad when something like that happened to me. It is important to be prepared to those kind of questions and this book offers a great way to learn how to formulate certain answers so that they make sense.
Overall, I really enjoyed this book and I recommend it to all Christians, mainly the teenage ones.
