| Bullying has reached near epidemic proportion in the United States. Seventy-five percent of today’s youngsters report being bullied by peers, with 90 percent admitting to side effects such as a drop in grades, increased anxiety, or a loss of friends or social life. A recent study commissioned by the Carnegie Council on Adolescent Development warns that one in four teenagers is extremely vulnerable to multiple high-risk behaviors and another one in four is at moderate risk.
Yet at the very time schools are becoming more dangerous and perplexing, God is moving in unprecedented ways in the lives of Christian teens. At the very point at which record numbers of kids are being ostracized and victimized, Christian young people are desiring to be more radically used by God.
Loaded with real-life examples, stories and practical tips for training teenagers to reach out. This book will ignite your ministry with Christ’s compassion for the spiritually needy.
