Words for the Journey: Letter to Our Teenagers About Life and Faith

I used this book for confirmation class at the church. I recommend it to all youth, not because it gives answers, but because it is a good thought provoking book. In class it helped the youth to look deeper into the subjects and started some good conversations. Does not tell the answers but helps to start the process of looking for the answers.

This book is a fantastic read. I would recommend both to parents and teens to read. I would ask that Amazon correct the title for ordering. Excellent choice for discussion between youth and their parents as well as people who work with youth.

Thought provoking brief chapters on questions teens and ADULTS have about God, suffering, doubt. A wonderful resource for individual as well as group faith formation.

I read this book looking for ideas for our confirmation program and found so much more. I love the way questions are posed, ideas explored, and doors left open. It offers solid Christian theology filled with grace.

This book is fantastic! I am a parent and a Youth Group leader and reading this book opened my eyes up to new ways of talking with the kids on their terms. I use this book as curriculum for youth group by reading a chapter out loud and planning games and activities to go with that chapter. We are also starting a parents support group to help each other communicate better with our kids and this book will be beneficial to us. I highly recommend this book for all to read!

This book has been used by many churches in confirmation class and for youth groups. Excellent resource. And it would make a great graduation gift.
