The Truth about Dating and Just Being Friends...

So far I have been very pleased with this book. Chad Eastham’s manner is very humourous and teen-friendly, but he also covers important material thoroughly and spiritually wisely with clear guidance given in a way that doesn’t turn off teens. This is what my 14 year old daughter has to say after reading The Truth about Dating and Just Being Friends...
Chad Eastham is a talented writer who has combined literally everything about dating into this 245 page book. He has the dangers of dating and of “going too far”, but he also has the humour and the romantic-ness of dating and love combined. Being a teen myself, I really enjoyed this book as it challenged me to seek God first and to take a second look at what I want in a boyfriend, the boundaries I set, what age is acceptable and I bet all other teens have the same questions as I do and I can totally say that this book had answers for all my questions (and that’s a lot of answers for one book! LOL). This is an engaging book that not only teenagers would enjoy but also young adults and maybe even married couples. That’s all I have to say for now folks, but I hope that I have helped you consider reading this book. Good luck and to Chad – Keep up the great writing 

Though my 12 year old son is still fairly young and has no interest in girls, he began reading this book and enjoyed it. I asked him to finish reading the book so that I could write up what a young teen boy’s perspective is as well. That will come, as well as more of my opinion as I finish reading the book and complete my evaluation of the book. Until then

Book Review - Jesus, My Father, the CIA, and Me - A memoir ... of sorts

This book is a great read. Although I enjoyed it very much I would suggest that an older audience read this (instead of someone like me (14)) thanks to the use of hard words and heavy subjects such as an alcoholic, abusive father and the use of drugs and alcohol. one of my favourite parts was when he was talking to his therapist and he was saying how he believed that his father’s alcoholic outbursts were all his fault, then his therapist looked  him in the eyes and said "I see you and you are beautiful" That really moved me. This book combines humour and sadness and it will truly move your heart. I can honestly say that Ian Morgan Cron has created a truly magnificent book.
