This is a nice book written through the eyes of a teen who is discovering and expanding her relationship with God. It is written in a conversational style through the letters (Leslie) writes to God. She discusses her daily problems and learns that her relationship with God becomes stronger as she talks, or rather writes to Him.

This is surely an interesting read that I plan on sharing with my daughter when she gets older. ( )

This read, Keepin' It Real: A Young Teen Talks With God by Sandra McLeod Humphrey, was a delight. It is written as a young girl's diary to God. The book opens as the teen converses frankly and directly with God on a number of issues affecting her life. During the course of her written conversations, the girl begins to develop a relationship and Christian maturity with the God that she starts out blaming for all of her ills. If you want a nice Christmas gift for the teenage femme in your life, this might be the one. Mom and Dad would do well to read this one too, particularlly if you are interested in the many challenges that your teen confronts today. ( )
