Video Contest for Teens!

How Do You Text It?

Hosted by Real Teen Faith (http://realteenfaith.com/)

Admit it: You’re obsessed with texting. You can text anywhere – especially places you’re not supposed to – like through your book bag in algebra class when you think the teacher isn’t looking. You’ve probably texted in some of the weirdest places and would love to brag about it (and make a little cash while you’re at it). You’re in luck because that’s what this contest is all about!

Real Review: Me, Just Different {{giveaway}}

me-just-different

Sometimes being popular isn’t everything…

Skylar is a high school senior who has found a new group of friends. She’s ready for a new life — if the old one would just get out of the way. Some consider her beautiful. Her old friends just want her to be herself. Her family is in crisis, and then there’s the whole romance issue.

Stephanie Morrill debuts her first novel, Me, Just Different, Book 1 in The Reinvention of Skylar Hoyt series.

It’s fun to read. The charactes are compelling and deal with real issues, like friendship, sexuality, and pressure to fit in.

Sound good?

Real Review: Pure by Rebecca St. James

Pure: a 90-day devotional for the mind, body & spirit

by Rebecca St. James, best selling author and musical artist

When Rebecca was 12 years old she attended a program at her school that significantly impacted her life’s story. A speaker asked people to come forward if they felt God leading them to give their talents and gifts to Him. She responsed and that was the same year God began to lead her into music.

Rebecca feels that her God-given purpose is to encourage people to stand for God, to live for Him, and to live a life of worship.

Which is exactly how this book feels as you read it. Daily devotions draw you deep in the heart of a relationship with God, where purity is less about the outside and more about listening to and responding to the voice of God and knowing and being led by Him. (more…)
