12 TRUTHS EVERY TEEN CAN TRUST

12 TRUTHS EVERY TEEN CAN TRUST by Paul David Tripp

In a world that glorifies the idea of relative truth, Paul David Tripp comes along with a book laying out 12 TRUTHS (with a capital "T") that every person can rest on according to Biblical scripture. The caption on the cover really nails it - "Core Beliefs of the Christian Faith That Will Change Your Life." That's what real truth does. It gives us a foundation to stand on and begin to build our lives off of. A relative truth foundation is one that often consists of shifting sand always changing as the elements of life strike.

Topics include God, God's Holiness, God's Sovereignty, Sin, Justification, Sanctification, and 6 more. Each topic begins with a defining doctrinal statement that is clearly laid out, followed by a list of scriptures, and concluded with a "Why it Matters" paragraph to solidify the importance of the topic. Then, there are 7 days of short devotionals about the topic with a scripture reference and a reflection question. It's well done and can foster deep thought and discussion as teens wrestle with owning their faith in today's world.

12 Truths Every Teen Can Trust will definitely be finding its way into either our family devotions or my teens' personal Bible times. This is worth checking out!
