5.0 out of 5 stars A MUST to read for any young adult! Great gift to share., March 16, 2001

I recently picked up Stephanie's Payton Skyy Series (all three) at a Christian Youth Conference. I am a parent of three and writer. I was thrilled to find books my daughter will one day be able to identify with being African-American, Christian and female. There are very few books out there for this age group. I decided to read them before putting them away for her (for when she gets older) and I found that I could not put them down. All I can say is God is good and finds wonderful ways to reach you. If I had books like these when I was in high school and dealing with the same issues, my life would have been a lot easier. Stephanie does not preach down at the reader. Instead the message is gently woven through wonderful characters. Payton Skyy is the type of girl most girls dream of becoming. This particular title was great because it deals with substance abuse. It not only helps the reader learn how to deal with it themselves, but how to help friends when they fall victim to it as well. Please pick this up and share it with any teenager you care about.

4.0 out of 5 stars A really inspirational book, irresistable, December 8, 2001

This review is from: Sober Faith (Payton Skky Series, 2) (Paperback)

I'm 19 years of age and I loved it, I read the 1st, 2nd and 3rd series. I can really relate to the 1st series. I ran across the book at the point in my life when I was down. I read the table of contents and literally cried in the store, just thanking GOD for sending something similar to what I was going through. I bragged to my boyfriend on how wonderful the book was, and now he's reading them, and he's 21 years of age. The amazing part is he's enjoying them so much he's going to go buy the 4th book! I'm so proud of him, because this is my own little way of getting him back into church. I ENCOURAGE EVERYONE TO READ IT!

Hi reviewers,

I am 15 yrs. old, and before I read the books in the "Payton Skky Series" (1-4) I was entering high school and I was really nervous about going. My friend actually was the one who let me borrow books (1-3) of the series. She told me how good they were and how they made her think of her life and how she handled situations similar to those in the books. I have to admit I was reluctant to read these books because I am really not a reader, but to my surprise I actually enjoyed reading the books. They were an inspiration to me. By reading the books I was able to help some of my friends and cousins through similar situations in "Sober Faith" (book 2). Not only did I enjoy reading the books My mother and best friend also enjoyed them. I can't wait to get book 5, "Surrendered Heart!" Even if you don't enjoy reading, you will learn from and enjoy these books as I did!!
