Summary

It Happens Each Day...a high school girl considers dating a non-Christian, young couples cross dangerous physical and emotional boundaries, students fail classes they could pass with ease given the effort, teenagers are locked in an eternal battle with their parents. Life is a swift succession of choices that will lead us even closer to or farther away from our Father in heaven. Proving to be one of the most relevant books of the Bible for young adults, Proverbs addresses the major concerns of every teenager's life, and does so with wit and vivacity. A Word to the Wise challenges teens and encourages them to choose God's proven wisdom, instead of making choice that can lead to painful consequences. Book jacket.
