Chicken Soup for the Christian Teenage Soul Pg. 2-98

Ah! You simply cannot beat Chicken Soup for the Soul! MMM..it makes me remember all the good things in life while also incorporating God into the stories.  The book has so many little stories each ranging between one to six or seven pages. 

These inspirational stories are about topics such as faith, love, forgiveness, healing, grieving, gratitude and much more!! I literally was so lost in this book I hardly even set it down.

One of my favorite stories from the book is about a freshman girl in high school that is so desperate to fit in that she begins drinking and shoplifting and even develops an eating disorder all so that she can be a part of the "in" group.  And she pulled it off for a while.  But after a run in with the police, her parents stepped in and signed her up for a therapist.  It was for her benefit because many counceling sessions later, she turned her life around by looking to God for help. 

It may sound somewhat lame, but it's actually really inspiring to read about these people my age and their stories.  I mean, everyone has a story, but not everyone has the courage to share it.
