I received Take Heart for Teens compliments of New Growth Press in exchange for my honest review.
Take Heart for Teens is a devotional for teenagers adapted from the late David Powlison’s Take Heart devotional. Powlison was a biblical counselor and writes with gentleness and compassion. This book includes a brief devotional for each day of the year. Each devotional begins with Scripture, and a few begin with the lines of a hymn.
The content encourages teens to keep their eyes fixed on Jesus in the midst of the many things they are likely experiencing. The devotions conclude with a Take With You section, which includes an encouragement crafted by the editors of the book. I found the one on page 14, especially encouraging. It says, “In John 1:5, it says, ‘The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.’ This is a promise to you. There is no darkness in your life that the light of Christ cannot reach. Take heart. You are not alone.”
This is a devotional for teens, yet as an adult far removed from the teen years, I was greatly comforted by its content. If you want to help a teen grow deeper in their relationship with the Lord, I highly recommend purchasing them a copy of Take Heart for Teens.
