I LOVE this book! It has the Psalms re-written in today's language so that teens (and adults) can better relate to them and applying the Bible teachings to their own lives. I have used this book in many prayer services as well as leaving it out for the youth to delve into on their own. I purchased one for my personal use as well as a few for the youth ministry library at my church.
A wonderful interpretation of the age-old Psalms in words with which teens will feel comfortable. Great way for teens to talk to God through every emotion and up and down of their life and especially when they don't know quite how to do it. Makes the Psalms relevant for them today!
This book is truly awesome! As a religion teacher for teens, I have used it. But, I have also used it for groups of adults as a prayer and had great feedback. In fact, one adult borrowed my book and used it to pray each morning with her 8 year old! The prayers/psalms are written to speak to all ages.
This book has been used successfully with a group of 14-15 year old teens. They wanted a study they could discuss on their own. This is a pull-out public school study done in homes. It has met the need well.
