Booster Shots For A Healthy Soul

Years ago, I sometimes gave the sermonette to a mixed audience of children from nursery school through high school at a designated time in the Sunday morning worship service at my church. I wanted the message to encourage them to develop a scholarly interest in reading and understanding the Bible. Many times I have heard adults, when questioned about what the Bible says or means about an issue, defer with comments such as Im not a Bible scholar or Ill leave that to the theologians. I wanted my own children to know that lessons taught in Sunday school and their daily living were based on Bible principles that they can comfortably and intelligently talk about with believers or nonbelievers.

Booster Shots for the Soul is an inspirational book that gives knowledge, wisdom, and application of Biblical principles that help make one successful through life’s struggles. It contains a “Booster” for each day of the year, with a “grab-bag” of extras at the end. It’s a great way to start the day before we face the world.

Booster Shots for the Soul Volume II is an inspirational book that shares a variety of knowledge, wisdom, and encouragement for each day of the year. It covers a multiple of biblical principles as well as everyday commonsense ideas for successful human behavior in a variety of relationships.

This breakthrough book covers the head-to-toe, outside-inside health needs of today's 10- to 21-year-olds. Written by experts in adolescent medicine and parent-child relationships, this comprehensive reference gives no-nonsense, straightforward guidance on how to talk with teens in a way that will help them take charge of their own health. Andrea Marks, M.D., and Betty Rothbart, M.S.W., take a unique approach -- they focus on the interplay of physical, mental, emotional, and social issues that make these years such a challenging time. They show how physical health concerns must be considered within the context of the three main goals of adolescence: • gaining independence • clarifying sexual identity • Finding a realistic, satisfying place in society Combining authoritative information with sound advice on communicating with teens, who really do want and need their parents' help (even though at times it may seem otherwise), Healthy Teens, Body and Soul will teach parents how to open the lines of communication that will result in healthier, happier teens (and parents!).

Read it for yourself. Fact-check any information that is relevant or interesting to you. There is a variety of it, and from differing points of view. This book goes deep into the “Invisible Enemy” exposing lies that have been taught to us for centuries, right up to the recent lies of the past two years. The better we know our enemy; the better chance we have of remaining free.
