Summary
Summary
The teen years are full of fears big and small. Teens are afraid to be themselves, afraid of being left out, afraid of being alone, and afraid of being lost in the crowd. They crave attention and acceptance and spend much of their time reacting to the fear of not fitting in.
Bestselling authors Hayley and Michael DiMarco help teens embrace being the "me" they're supposed to be, regardless of the expectations or criticisms of others. They offer teens "five smooth stones" they can use to slay the fear, shyness, and other giants in their lives. Perfect for any teen, both the "confident" and the "shy."

Publisher's Weekly Review
The DiMarcos write a lot for teens (she's written God Girl, he's written God Guy). They understand the concerns and language of young people, as the subtitle suggests. The support they offer for teens is very specific: their analysis and counsel is based on a solidly evangelical Christian understanding of the Bible that makes God into a friendly, reliable source of strength, and Jesus a source of salvation. They apply these basic Christian teachings to teen insecurities. Their approach makes them effective resources for youth pastors. But anyone who doesn't normally use the Christian Bible as a guide to life and problem solving won't find anything here; this speaks to a Christian audience. Ages 12-up. (July) ?
