"My Dear Young Friends" is an excellent resource book for youth leaders. The weekly reflection is very do-able and easy to follow.

Teaching by Pope JP II

Step 1:Think About That

Step 2:Take Action

Step 3:Say a Prayer

In addition, I like to suggest the group-leader include a story from the Holy Bibles as Step 2.5 for the cell group.

I bought this as a gift for my sister. She's in high school, so I wanted to give her something to guide her through high school. This is extremely inspirational and guiding for anyone who practices Christianity and deals with the daily troubles of being a teenager. It will help you grow and nourish yourself by reading through the 52 weekly reflections which include quotes, prayers, and actions.

As a DRE for HS students, I found it a refreshing and short spiritual exercise/prayer time to start each class. I agree with the previous review, and could be followed by a short session on a gospel reading.

How more loving and powerful as spoken by Blessed Pope John Paul II, as a father to his children: "Jesus is living next to you, in the brothers and sisters with whom you share your daily existence."

I would recommend this book to every HS CCD class or Youth Meetings.
