Format:Paperback
This book was an excellent introduction to many of the important issues facing today's Christians. It appeared to be aimed at teenagers and those in their early twenties and covered the environment, self-image, work, sex, abortion, sexuality, ambition, forgiveness and many other areas in a seamless, light and yet helpful way. What I particularly appreciated about this book was that the author didn't dictate what is right or wrong about these topics, he discussed the differing opinions about some of these issues and allowed you to make up your mind. It was a refreshing change to find a book for young people that wasn't full of rules with no reasons but that gave guidance in how to approach tough questions with a Christ-like mind. The book is full of pertinent quotes from a wide range of people - Christina Aguilera, Robbie Williams, Rowan Williams, Brooke Shields, St Augustine and many more. It was a fairly short book and easy to read and I would heartily recommend it to anyone.

This book has been long awaited and also long needed. It provided a very clear and open approach to questions and issues concerning us all, christians or not. I really enjoyed it and would recommend it particularly to young people in search of answers.
