Prayers for When You're Mad, Sad, or Just Totally Confused

Summary: Keep This Book Handy
Review: "Mad, Sad, or just Totally Confused" is one of those books you won't read in a day or even a week. You won't want to breeze through Ms. Waggoner's honest, unapologetic advice and set the book aside; rather, this is one for the backpack, the top desk drawer, even under the mattress. You'll need these candid stories, thoughts and prayers at your disposal--when you find yourself down and discouraged, "Prayers" delivers legitimate dialogue on tough issues. Don't expect Ms. Waggoner to shy away or bandy out an easy answer. Her voice is strong and self-assured while at the same time stressing that it's okay to be real and vulnerable. Her book meets teens where they are, not where their elders think they are or should be. "Prayers" should be added to any teen's library of essentials--somewhere between the study Bible and the issues of "Seventeen." It's that pertinent and that useful.

Review: A great resource for turbulent years, I found this book to be a great guide for those in one of life's many hardships. Waggoner relates the tough times that we all must face in an honest, realistic way, and yet points us towards the only solution in every trial. Excellent material, especially from such a young writer, she writes with a command that many veteran writers cannot seem to find. Simply an excellent work, I cannot wait to read this promising young author's next work!

This book is witten in a clear, uncluttered manner. It is obvious that Brittany has a thorough grasp of how to convey trust to her readers without being preachy.

Summary: A Wonderful Resource
Review: Brittany Waggoner talks to teens about tackling life's toughest issues with hope, faith, and courage. Waggoner's approach is real, warm, and down-to-earth. She never gets preachy. She doesn't resort to pat answers and time-worn cliches. Instead, she shares from her heart the hope that she has found in Christ. The book also includes "Prayer Starters" -- thought-provoking questions and journaling tips that will help teens make a practical application of the Scriptural truths presented in the text.
