You're Gonna Make It by John Bytheway
Mar bought this book, maybe for Michael - yes for Michael but not our Michael, for Andrea's Michael - and Jasen. John Bytheway does a light hearted look at the problems of youth in high school, speaking from his own experiences. The premise of the book is that, yes there are hard times through high school. But there are ways to make it through unscathed by the world, which really seems now a days to be at its worst in the pressure cooker of adolescent school drama. The solution is - are you ready for this - be string. This book offers encouragement and - encouragement - and encouragement - and a few suggestions.
The essence of the message - you are okay and you will make it.
The book is written in a lighthearted, way appropriate for teenagers, and it assumes you are a member of the church. It is short enough to not turn youth away. I mean, it was meant to entice them to read it - entice in the way only John Bytheway could do.
He does quote other authors - in particular, I like the story about Brad Wilcox and hating your parents. Now that is a story that sheds valuable light for teenagers.
Keep strong y'all. You are gonna make it.
(Maybe that was meant for parents also).
