A passage from church this very night:
Psalms 101:5 -- Whoever secretly slanders his neighbor, him I will destroy; No one who has a haughty look and an arrogant heart will I endure.
True, true. And such must be done. Certainly should be done.
However, it's a rare parent who can engender such and/or a rare teen that will be that attracted and excited about Biblical truths in their 'raw' Biblical form. Many more would internalize them a lot easier if 'translated' into more teen friendly . . . metaphors, stories, images etc.
I bought a Bible especially for teens for my granddaughter and she really liked it. They're about $14 in Walmart's. I also loved the Nancy Drew mysteries and the Bobbsey Twins when I was young.
