Everyday, young adults are bombarded with images and stories of extreme wealth and fame -- be it in sports, music, or Hollywood. Their vision of success can become limited to these areas, and they lose focus on developing other talents and skills. A reality check is in order, because the odds are fifty thousand to one that a student athlete will play in the NBA, and similar odds apply to aspiring singers and actors who expect they will be the next superstar.

In this book, I share a VERY TRANSPARENT and RAW account of what it was like for me, as I entered into the world of sexual relationships, TOTALLY UNPREPARED. I wrote this book because I don't want anybody to be as ignorant as I was about having sex. Having sex before time destroyed my life; it is a miracle that I am even alive. In this book, you are going to learn how immoral sexual activity causes you to make wrong choices. You will learn how it leads to negative personality changes and the spiritual and emotional dangers of so-called \"casual sex\" or \"hook-up sex\". Sex looks a lot differently when viewed through spiritual eyes. This book will provoke you to change how you look at sex and cause you to understand that it is much more than just a physical act. While written ideally for teenagers and young adults, readers of all ages have benefited from the information shared in this book. It is especially helpful for parents, teachers, pastors and anyone who works with youth. Sex is extremely valuable, and once you realize how powerful it really is, you will no longer take it so lightly  Get enlightened to the deeper truths about sex in this RAW and REAL book that will make you laugh and make you think  No holds barred; nothing held back -- it's a look into the dark side of sex  ***WARNING FROM THE AUTHOR*** THIS BOOK CONTAINS MATERIAL THAT CONSERVATIVE RELIGION FINDS OFFENSIVE (as should be obvious from the graphic nature of the cover ) It is written in very basic language and uses elementary terminology that is easily understood by teens, young adults, unbelievers, non-church-goers, and those that may have a harder time reading (i.e. drug addicts, high school dropouts, ex-convicts, prostitutes, etc...). It also uses urban vernacular throughout the book. If you are purchasing this book based on reading some of my other works, you need to be prepared for the stark difference with this work. It is written for a completely different audience than my other material. If you are purchasing this book for a teenager, I strongly urge you to read it FIRST before giving it them, to ensure that you are comfortable with the level of exposure. Having said that, I feel that THIS BOOK CONTAINS ESSENTIAL REVELATIONS ABOUT SEX THAT EVERY HUMAN BEING SHOULD HAVE KNOWLEDGE OF. I implore you to look past the urban writing style and the raw transparency of my testimony, and to focus on digesting the revelation. It will change how you look at sex and those involved in promiscuous lifestyles forever. And here's just a little tip: chapter one is the hardest to swallow, as far as the raw nature of how I share my testimony. This introductory chapter is written that way for shock effect and to ensure that I hold the intended audience's attention long enough to prompt them onward to chapter two. If you make it past chapter one without fainting (smile), you will probably enjoy the rest of the book much more than you would have imagined. After reading this I hope you will still make the purchase and I would love your constructive criticism or positive feedback about the content and nature of this book.

Times in our hearts before the stresses of adult responsibilities, times of learning and times of moving on to the next level of growth, all of these move us along the road to maturity. Country Summers, a work of fiction, follows a young girl, her friends and family seen through the lens of their summer vacations in Monroe, New York. Starting in an apartment on the Grand Concourse in the Bronx, New York in 1954, Laurel Milton grows from ages twelve to eighteen. She and her summer crowd of friends experiment with romance, understanding their parents, religion, social etiquette, and solve a mystery involving the early history of the region. Highlights from the story include: * Uncovering the details of a deadly traffic accident * The ritual of the \"Mock Marriage\" * The Sadie Hawkins Dance * Dating rules of the mid-nineteen fifties * Social norms of in-groups and out-groups * Festivals and Sabbath traditions of the Hebrew religion * A mysterious farm family with a futuristic lifestyle KIRKUS BOOK REVIEW BOOK REVIEW A fictionalized memoir of idyllic teenage summers in Monroe, NY, during the 1950s. Apple Hill, a country bungalow community on a lake, attracted families from New York City who wanted to escape apartment living in the summer. The mothers kept house, gardened, cooked and played mah jongg and canasta while the fathers commuted to the city. The teenagers worked at summer jobs as camp counselors, mechanics and reporters. Social activity centered on the club house, where adults enjoyed Saturday-night dancing and entertainment, and teens had parent-approved weekly themed dances. Some of the teens, though, had other private parties, usually in a local basement that offered \"make-out music\" and games such as \"post office and spin the bottle.\" Laurel, the most prominent character in this book, led the members of the younger set as they occupied themselves with gossip, dramas of love and romance, listening in on party-line conversations and prying into the affairs of others. Visitors to Apple Hill observed Jewish holidays and religious traditions in the club house, which became a \"rustic synagogue.\" This ambitious memoir, upbeat and respectful, takes the form of a series of sketches of the lives of the summer families as well as prominent non-Jewish local residents and how they overlapped.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bobbie Harrison\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1470058073\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781470058074\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/11\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 562\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.64lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 5.98w x 1.14d","brand":"Bobbie Harrison","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43935463145727,"sku":"9781470058074","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_bf7f90aa-1ee4-49e0-8642-2d376896011b.jpg?v=1681419946"},{"product_id":"dont-give-up-on-your-s-j-carr-9781450268479","title":"Don't Give Up on Your Kids: Understanding and Believing in Teens","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe transition from child to teen can be a very challenging time for parents, watching a child grow up and begin to pull away from the family unit, wanting to spend more and more time with peers.

Typically, this transformation is a prickly proposition for both teens and their families, but the trials and tribulations of adolescence give teenagers a second chance to develop and create the brain they will take into adulthood.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sheryl Feinstein\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1607091186\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781607091189\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e R \u0026amp; L Education\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/16\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 148\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.79lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.14w x 0.67d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal Annex\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/17\/2009","brand":"Sheryl Feinstein","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43938708357375,"sku":"9781607091189","price":47.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_d9fc8fdd-357f-4459-9fc1-79a92934f793.jpg?v=1681437272"},{"product_id":"life-strategies-for-teenagers-bukky-ekine-ogunlana-9781794381384","title":"Life Strategies for Teenagers","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\"Your teen is a child who is old enough to understand, but is still young enough to be pliable.\" \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eLife Strategies for Teens\u003c\/i\u003e, author Bukky Ekine-Ogunlana draws on 14 years of experience working with teenagers and their parents to offer proven methods for improving family communication skills, learning positive parenting and positive discipline methods and strategies for dealing with teen cell phone use and social media safety.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this book, you will learn valuable teen communication tips: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow to understand teens - what teenage girls and boys really mean when they talk and interpreting non-verbal communication\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow to recognize teen depression and proven methods for dealing with it\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eParenting skills for dealing with disappointment and shortcomings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePositive reinforcement practices for praising successes and encouraging growth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow to monitor teenage cell phone, video game and social media usage, without causing a family meltdown\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow to curb nonchalance and defiant behavior with positive dialog and setting a good example\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow to raise a responsible, moral and purpose-driven teenager that you can be proud of\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eYour children's teenage years are when you should let them explore their grоwing teen independence, yet gently reel them in once in a while to make behavior adjustments as needed.

I was sixteen years old at the time and my best friend had just gotten his first car. It was a used, worn, black Camaro. The possibilities were endless. We tossed around a few ideas but nothing seemed good enough. All we wanted was one night free from parents, rules, and responsibilities. Just one night to really feel alive. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e What I intended on being a fun, energetic night quickly escalated into the most horrifying moment of my life when I was ejected from the vehicle on our drive home. My skull collided into the pavement and my lungs stopped taking in air. My comatose body was nearing its final seconds. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e A journey through hospitals and rehabilitation clinics is the reason I'm still alive. During my days as a patient, I had to relearn how to walk, talk, sleep, and think. It felt like I was caged inside of a broken body that just didn't have the strength to recover or a will to live. My family had to learn how to cope with my disabilities. Many of my friends moved on and left me in their past. My whole world came crashing down and all they could do was watch. Everyone had to adjust. But more importantly, I had to accept living my life with a traumatic brain injury. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e It all happened so fast. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSecond Chance is a true story of how Ryan Troutman escaped a closing casket and victoriously fought his way back to life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ryan Troutman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 194415521X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781944155216\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Jozef Syndicate\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 282\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.25w x 0.59d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2016 pg. 122","brand":"Ryan Troutman","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43940239573247,"sku":"9781944155216","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_325323ac-6fc6-4e4b-81ca-833359914975.jpg?v=1681446049"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/collections\/family-relationships-friendship.oembed?page=22","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
