I picked up this book for a special young man who will be graduating in just a few short months. This is such a difficult, exciting, transitional time in a young person's life, and they need strong advice to fall back on. This book is small, pocket-sized, and looks stylish. This is a collection of Bible verses, sorted by topic, as a quick go-to for life's difficult situations. They're bite-sized, but pack a punch and will leave them mulling it over in the back of their brains as they go through their days. The topics are easy to find, so you can either read it through or turn to a specific topic that is on your plate at the time. It includes Bible verses, and addresses specific situations that 18-20 year olds find themselves in on a regular basis.

It's a book for everyone not only for graduates. This book is actually filled with bible verses that are promises for God's people, but there aren't any commentary on explaining the bible verses.

I myself haven't read exactly everything yet, however I found this book very useful because it contains bible verses ranging from different situations, like when you are feeling worried, angry etc. And also bible verses that explain certain things like faith, hope, love. This book reminds us who Jesus is, what to do when we have negative feelings, it also reminds us what is the bible to us. But bear in mind that there are no commentary or explanations on the bible verses.

So for example, when you experience some feelings like hate, you can open the book, and the book will show bible verses related to hate, this will actually help save some time if we don't know where are the bible verses in the bible located. It is like your own notebook of bible verses!

This book is actually a blessing to me! Praise the Lord for giving me this book. God bless you.

I received a complimentary copy.

The book is visually appealing and easy to understand. I think it would make a really neat gift to help your teen to get right with God and stay on track. If you enjoy faith based reading material and believe in the power that comes from God's wisdom, then this is going to be a really good book to read. It it filled with scriptures and if you are already familiar with them then this will be even easy to understand.
