Following Gandalf: Epic Battles and Moral
Victory in The Lord of the Rings
Following Gandalf offers fans of The Lord of the
Rings a deeper understanding of the sharp contrast between Tolkien's

Real Teens, Real Stories, Real Life
Darrin struggled with pornography since his early teen years
and no matter how guilty he felt, did not believe there was a way out.
Nichole shuttled back and forth between foster homes because her own parents
were drug addicts and dealers.
Jessa felt an incredible emptiness inside that she thought could only be
filled through witchcraft.
Shana felt like nothing because her dad always told her she was a nothing --
even as he beat her mercilessly.
Chad was convinced that smoking pot wasn't a big deal until he ended up
addicted to hard-core drugs and in jail.
The teens in this book are not fictitious characters. Their stories are not
made up. They have experienced the full range of disappointments,
heartaches, and personal failures that life can throw one's way. The good
news is that all 39 teens in this book met Someone who changed their lives
forever. That Someone is the God who loved them enough to die for them - who
will never leave nor forsake them. As you read these stories of pain and
triumph, open your heart to the same life-changing God they met.
