Conversations With God for Teens (hs) Too Mature for Clubs-do Not Use
Conversations with God for Teensreads like a rap session at a  church youth group, where teenagers discuss everything they ever wanted to know  about life but were too afraid to ask God. Once again author Neale Donald Walsch  acts as the verbal conduit, showing teenagers how easy it is to converse with  the divine. After the enormous success of his previousConversations with Godbooks, Walsch was asked to write a book for teenagers. So he collected questions  from teenagers around the world, brought them into his private dialogue with  God, and then printed God's answers on the page. So when Claudia, age 16, from  Perth, Australia, asks, "Why can't I just have sex with everybody? What's the big  deal?", the answer God offers her is: "Nothing you do will ever be okay with  everybody. 'Everybody' is a large word. The real question is can you have sex  and have it be okay with you?" There's no doubt that the casual  question-and-answer format will help make God feel welcoming and accessible to  teens. And the introduction by Alanis Morissette raises the "cool" factor  considerably. Nonetheless, it's not for all teenagers: older adolescents (17 and  older) may find it hokey or manipulative, and preteens (10 to 12) could find  some of the questions too mature.--Gail Hudson--This text refers to theHardcoveredition.
