I lead a Moms In Touch International prayer group for my daughter's middle school. I am using this book as a guide for us each week when we pray for our kids. I had previously used Joanie Berndt's Praying Scriptures for Your Children and loved it. This similar book for praying for teenagers is proving just as insightful and helpful. We are also using it in our high school prayer group.

Love this book and its format. Jodie is an very gifted writer, but the real treasure is in the prayers you can pray for your teenager, taken straight from Scripture. Anyone who goes through this book can come away comforted that the God of Creation is watching over our precious children during their turbulent years of teenhood. Great prayers, great book!
