I recently purchased three copies of this book for some youthin my Sunday School class who recently accepted Christ. I found thatit covered all of the questions they had and still was on their level! His wit made it very easy for them to learn and urged them to dig in the Bible for answers. It can also be easily adapted for Bible studies with any size group!

My pizza face and World of Warcraft body were too much for most people to take even 6 months ago. Factor in that I watched godless programs like South Park and the Simpsons, which convinced me that there is no god, and I was often a loner, even to my mom, Dottie. I also thought that most Christians were completely crazy.

Well, my father forced me to go to Sunday school a few months back and it changed my life. I read this amazing book, and now I'm no longer of the opinion that Christians are weird people. We are wonderful people. After accepting Christ as my lord and savior, I now see much clearer. Christians are not weird because we believe in Jesus, who is not only God, his son, and also, the holy spirit. We are just normal people that reject all scientific data that might damage our faith in a 2,000 year old book.

Now that I'm a not-weird Christian, I've got more friends, I've started jogging to shed my WOW body-type, and been praying to Jesus to clear the zits from my face. Hopefully Jesus, along with modern medicin, which we so freely reject when it disagrees with the Bible, will help clear the zits of Satan from my face.

I got this book for my teenage son. I know there is pressure at school and I wanted to give him some kind of assistance. He stated that there were some things in there that he could apply.

I've tried this one as a lesson guide for a teen Sunday school class and have found that it is lacking for that purpose. I think this book would be great for the individual to read instead.
