A Teen's Game Plan
Holtz, Lou
Books > Youth > Youth Resources
A motivational title by a highly successful and much-publicized college football coach. In a breezy style, the author stresses his commitment to excellence, loyalty, clean living habits, and a belief in God. Holtz discusses having a positive attitude, being self-disciplined, setting and understanding goals, etc. He tells many stories regarding his life on and off the football field, but some of them fail to make his points. In one case, he describes how as a teen he urged a close friend to undertake a potentially dangerous swim; the anecdote is neither appropriate nor amusing. Halfway through the book, the narrative begins to ramble. Black-and-white photos of athletes, the author, and his family are often unfocused and grainy. The appendix is devoted to Holtz's accomplishments, which are a tribute to his determination.

Blessed Are The Bored In Spirit
Hart, Mark
Books > Youth > Youth Resources
Too many young Catholics experience faith as Mark Hart did: They rarely miss Mass even if they don't understand it; they have a Bible even if they never read it; they go to confession even if they aren't particularly repentant.
Is that your experience of Catholicism? Is yours a faith of thou Shalt Nots? If so, forget about a dreary life of mindless obedience to rules you don't understand. It's time to enter into the transforming light of your Creator who invites you to live from the still center of his undying love.
The author's humorous and hard-hitting reflections drive home the point that God isn't calling the reader to be a good person - someone who merely obeys the rules - but a new person in Jesus Christ.

Catholic Teen's Guide To Tough Stuff: Straight Talk ...
Auer, Jim
Books > Youth > Youth Resources
Being a teenager can be a lot of fun. There are new and interesting people to meet, a wide variety of exciting challenges, and the pleasure that comes with greater freedom and increased responsibility. In all of this, though, there is the "tough stuff" that shapes and defines who you are and what you can grow to be. Every new situation brings with it a decision to be made. So what is the best way to deal with the tough choices that inevitably pop up? How do you stay true to who you are and what you want to become? What part do your Christian beliefs play in your decision making, and in what ways do the voices of peers, parents, and God affect your choosing? A Catholic Teen's Guide to Tough Stuff addresses a broad range of issues that confront youth today. Some (dating, for example) are perennial; other (such as the potential hazards of the Internet) are more recent. The issues include relationship with self, relationships with peers, and relationships with parents and other adults.
