Guidance From The Heart

About the Book

Guidance From the Heart: A Christian Resource Guide For Young People provides practical suggestions and tools for Christian teens and their parents who are seeking meaning and inspiration while confronting everyday struggles.

Dr. Andria R. Smith combines her work as a family therapist with her personal commitment to God in order to offer a compelling, in-depth study of select scriptures that will influence young people to develop and maintain an intimate walk with God in the face of daily temptations. As she counsels those on a Christian journey to understanding ten valuable life lessons, Dr. Smith relies on her broad knowledge of the Bible to teach young people how to:

• Remain pure in an impure world
• Focus on God’s desire for sexual relationships
• Recover from struggles
• Create a prayer journal
• Live a balanced life and manage stress

The powerful message included in this interactive guidebook encourages young spiritual seekers to grow, develop, and change, ultimately inspiring youth to pick up a Bible, a pen, and complete the activities within—all in the name of God.
