When Teens Pray: Powerful Stories of How God Works [Paperback]

Cheri Fuller (Author), Ron Luce (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: June 29, 2002

When Teens Pray richly demonstrates how God has intervened as teenagers have sought Him. Each chapter features true-life stories of the power of teens' prayers as they intercede for their high schools, families, and friends; as they pray on the mission field; and as they deal with the struggles of adolescence. "God links" -- dynamic prayer strategies supplied throughout the book -- help the reader connect with God. These amazing stories demonstrate that teenagers don't have to finish college or go to seminary for God to use them; they can impact their world and see their own lives changed as they pray -- wherever they are!

Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

Gr. 9-12. These engrossing stories about the effect of prayer on young people's lives will find a ready audience. The stories, told mainly by teens themselves, are chock-full of examples that demonstrate prayer's power. In one, two girls who wanted to stop the violence in their school began kneeling in front of their lockers each morning to pray silently. Despite stares and snickers, and the outrage of some students who claimed that their actions violated the Constitution, the students persisted. Gradually other students began to join in, and for the first time in years, fighting in the school stopped, and students became interested in learning. At another school, Meet-You-at-the-Pole prayer sessions were initiated, during which students gathered at the flagpole to pray each morning before classes. It's a helpful, apply-the-faith-to-your-life book that shows committed kids spreading the message that prayer works. Shelley Townsend-Hudson

5.0 out of 5 stars Want to get excited about what God can do through prayer?, September 2, 2002

This review is from: When Teens Pray: Powerful Stories of How God Works (Paperback)

Then this is the book for you. It's relevant. It's powerful. It demonstrates through stories how God can impact a world today through the power of prayer. If you are a teen who wants to change your world. . . If you are a teen who has been asking God for a miracle in your school, your home, your own heart. . . If you want to experience God, then this is your book.

As someone who ministers to teens across the nation, my heart was stirred by Cheri's book. It wasn't written for teens by an adult, but rather expressed by teens whose heart was to run after God with a passion. I would recommend this book to any teen, and to anyone who loves teens!
