A recent statistic said that over 80% of Christian teens abandon their faith for a season. Author T. Suzanne Eller says, "As someone who has ministered to teens for a long time, I believe that teens leave a support system only to have to find out what they believe, as opposed to what they've heard in a sermon or celebrated as a family." Making It Real starts that journey now, rather than later so that they are not one of the 80% who aren't sure what they believe anymore. Whether the reader is a first-time Christ-seeker or a seasoned believer, the book is for teens wanting to know God on a personal life-changing level.
Making It Real helps teens grow their faith, no matter where they are spiritually--into a dynamic relationship with God.
For teens asking questions about their faith, like:
- How do I make my faith more personal?
- How do I turn to God in both good and bad times?
- Where is God leading me?
- Is my faith a relationship or tradition?
Family faith is awesome. Youth church is a place where teens can grow. But personal faith is a one-on-one journey. Making It Real is great for individuals as well as small cell or discipleship groups or Sunday school classes.
What Others Are Saying
Making It Real will engage you and take you on a faith-building and life-changing journey,leading you daily to a powerful one-on-one encounter with God. This book connects this generation with a message that is relevant, inspiring and definitely needed.

I think this book looks like a great study for teens who either want to reinforce their faith, or who struggle with what they believe. With journaling space, prayers, contemporary and Biblical examples, this book would make a wonderful graduation gift for teens.
