Seven years ago the author, former editor of the popular Breakaway magazine for Christian teenage boys, wrote the first edition of this title. Subsequently he received many more questions about the Christian faith from teens, eighty of which are included in this book. 

          Most are answered in one or two pages, making them perfect for devotional reading or as group discussion starters. A stated assumption is that the Bible as God’s Word contains wisdom for life’s questions and that while some things are unknowable in this life, God welcomes honest doubters and questioning minds. 

          Johnson’s own background as someone who came to faith in Christ as an eighteen-year-old from a drug-abusing, dysfunctional family enables him to relate fully and sympathetically to new, young believers. He understands and writes wisely about non-supportive families, dealing with temptation, overcoming destructive habits and thought patterns, and learning to cultivate an intimate relationship with a loving God. Highly recommended for its relevance to the everyday lives and challenges faced by teens, this book would have been improved by a topical index and list of books for further reading.
