Anxiety. Isolation. Bullying. Issues with parents. Pornography. When teens face issues like these, where can they turn? In their new devotional books, Faith Notes: A Christ-Centered Survival Kit for Young Women and Faith Notes: A Christ-Centered Survival Kit for Young Men, authors Cassie Moore and Michael W. Newman say teens can turn to God. With nearly 100 devotions in each book, Moore and Newman point youth to God’s truth, show them God’s forgiveness and hope, and steer them toward Christ. Each book is now available to order on the Concordia Publishing House website.
Youth can go through devotions one by one or browse by topic—with plenty of room to journal or sketch. In addition to the devotions, the books each include an index with 52 inspiring Bible verses to help readers walk through life with confidence. The topic categories that the survival kits cover include anxiety, mistakes, family and home, character, relationships, and more.
