The Hardest 30 Days of Your Life
In this one-of-a-kind workbook, author and youth speaker Justin Lookadoo walks with teens through the experience of radical faith. He challenges youth to actually live out what they believe through practical steps like giving up their TV, Internet, PlayStation2 and magazines for 30 days. The unique four-color design is eye-catching and appeals to any postmodern teen. The non-linear style is inviting and unassuming, so teens will feel that they can approach this study with confidence. Formerly sold as "Step The Hardest 30 Days of Your Life," this book has garnered tremendous positive feedback from actual teens who have survived the life-changing experience. It will be the hardest and best book a teen or youth group has ever studied together.

December 24, 2010Did a small-group study on this book. It was painful, and some of the girls in my group cheated, but I didn't. I should go through it again this summer in order to get closer to the Lord

Great book, bad marketing.
Okay, so here’s the deal.
It’s a great book — it is. Great for older teenagers. Talking openly about sex, drugs, abortions, gang violence, gang members murdering and being murdered, the prison complex, abusive boyfriends, domestic violence, police brutality, and more.
This book would be PERFECT for older teens!
It is EXACTLY what older teens need to hear!
God loves you even if you’ve done drugs, had sex, had abortions, killed people, been abused by your boyfriend, etc.
That is EXACTLY what older teens need to hear.
But who did they market it to?
They put a — what — five year old?? On the front cover.
No teen is going to pick up a book with a five year old on the cover.
Because duh.
That would mortifying for a teenager.
You know who WILL pick up a book with a five year old on the cover?
A five year old.
So yeah.
Your target audience would NEVER pick this up, and people (or parents of people) way too young for the Content Warnings WILL pick it up.

Initial thoughts after reading (found in a notebook): This looked like a cool bible study, I'd be willing to do it, but it would definitely be a hard and a stretch for me.
