BOOK REVIEWS Bible Journaling for Teens is an important resource and tool for teens as they seek to develop and mature. Journaling is a therapeutic technique that is often used to increase self-awareness and aid in emotional processing within mental health spaces. This book combines the therapeutic value with spiritual value. It is not simply a book with random scriptures and accompanying journal prompts; it is organized in a way that provides Godly wisdom for different aspects of a teen's experience - from growing in the Lord, to dealing with grief and loss, to dealing with disappointments, to learning how to honor and value oneself. Rev. Dr. Deb thoughtfully structured the prompts in a way that allows the reader to meditate on scriptures each week of the year, while being able to pour out their personal thoughts and prayers as they are led or as the Lord illuminates their understanding. My favorite part of the journal is that it encourages parents and/or trusted adults to go on this journey with the teen by being able to write encouragement to the teen for each journal prompt. This not only encourages spiritual, emotional, and social growth and development but it also strengthens the teen's awareness of their support system - a balance that is sorely needed in the adolescent stage of development. I highly recommend this book. Ashley Burton, M. A., Mental Health Advocate, Speaker, Educator This interactive Bible journal for teens by Dr. Deborah Scarborough was borne of a tradition begun with her children. The newest edition provides a sequel to Dr. Scarborough’s nascent publication, Bible Journaling for Kids: Putting on the Full Armor of God. They are broadly designed to engage children and teens with their parents, grandparents, and caregivers. Each in the series is grounded in biblical texts and developmentally stepped as appropriate to transitions from early childhood to adolescence. Bible Journaling for Teens provides Bible-based responses to adolescent issues such as the challenges of approaching adulthood, identity, peer pressure, and imaginary audience phenomena that make teens feel sensitive and self-conscious. I am certain these 52-week, strength-building exercises rooted in Bible passages will be especially helpful during this season of the novel coronavirus infections that have left families isolated and intrafamilial relationships strained. Journaling can be a powerful tool for healing. Be encouraged that studying God’s Word together in this journaling process brings renewed hope as well as strengthened family ties that foster skill-building, understanding, and application of Scripture. Dr. Frances Raphael-Howell, Professor of Psychology Montgomery College, Rockville, MD Dr. Scarborough’s Bible Journaling for Teens is truly a must have resource for every Christian Teenager who is seeking to genuinely grow in their relationship with God. As a former Youth Pastor I often sought creative ways to help keep teens engaged with the word of God and prayer on a daily basis when they were away from church and this Journaling experience is just it. It not only provides transparent and impactful insight into various scriptures, but also allows space for teens to develop their own thoughts and prayers. I strongly encourage every Parent, Pastor, & Youth Leader to make sure that your teens have this excellent Bible Journaling experience. Rev. Anthony L.
