MY FRIEND IS STRUGGLING WITH UNPLANNED PREGNANCY
MY FRIEND IS STRUGGLING WITH DIVORCE OF PARENTS
By Josh NcDowell and Ed Stewart
Christian Focus. 64 pages. £2.99
ISBN 978-1-84550-440-3 & 978-1-84550-441-0

A series of books designed to help teenagers engage biblically with some of life’s biggest problems is an excellent idea.

These books are designed for Christian young people to read so they are equipped to help their friends in time of need (Proverbs 17.17).

I am a long way off being a teenager, so I road-tested these books on two teenagers who happen to be my daughters. Getting them to agree to read them was difficult, with one declaring, ‘ I don’t like reading’.
