Sticking Up for What Is Right

STICKING UP FOR WHAT IS RIGHT Answers to the Moral Dilemmas Teenagers Face With all the conflicting views the world offers, Gwendolyn Diaz offers straightforward biblical answers to some of the toughest dilemmas teenagers face: Exactly how honest am I supposed to be? What about sex – how far is too far? What does the Bible say about homosexuality and abortion? Does it mention drugs and alcohol? What if I've already blown it in one of these areas? The text is filled with interesting stories, real-life examples, and thought provoking-allegories, many of them taken from the author's personal experiences as she raised four energetic sons through their teenage years. Just as in the first book in this series, Sticking Up For What I Believe, Gwen presents the material in a lively and entertaining style, while focusing on life-changing truths. A TREMENDOUS RESOURCE for TEENAGERS, PARENTS, TEACHERS, and YOUTH WORKERS GWENDOLYN MITCHELL DIAZ began life as a missionary kid in Nigeria. Her family moved to the United States when she was ten. A graduate of the University of Pennsylvania, she spent many years working in the medical profession, but found time to write magazine articles and newspaper columns about sports, family, and her faith in God. She has published several books for Moms (including The Adventures of Mighty Mom) as well as three books for teenagers dealing with the spiritual, moral and emotional issues they face. Sticking Up For What Is Right is the second in this trilogy. As the mother of four boys, Gwen feels particularly passionate about helping teens solidify their faith and grow as Christians. She and her husband Ed are passionate about presenting Christianity to teens in a way that "captures their interest, satisfies their curiosity, and communicates God's exciting truths."
