This popular duo has teamed up again in a second volume of their best-selling Here I Am, Lord collection of prayers and prayer starters for teens. With their hard-won insight into the lives of teenagers, the authors have created a second youth prayer companion to encourage teens from 14 to 17 to pray about the big issues they face every day. Like Volume 1, this book uses touching stories, personal prayer examples and insightful questions, teens are gently guided to consider the important issues of life such as goodness, sexuality, humility, beauty, faith, and courage as well as to formulate their own responses to the God who calls each of us by name. What makes Here I Am, Lord, Volume 2 significant is that the chapters combine old and new stories, saints and rock lyrics, stories, poems, and parables about the "hot topics" the authors have heard teens actually discuss! Suitable for use in confirmation or religious education classes, Here I Am, Lord, Volume 2 can help today's Catholic youth navigate these often traumatic and challenging years with renewed Faith and deeper commitment.
