The Guy's Guide to God, Girls, and the Phone in Your Pocket: 101 Real-world Tips for Teenaged Guys

5star

Perfect!!! I read some quicky. Great teaching for teen guy to learn respect, love, understanding as mature, relationship with Jesus. I couldn't wait how my son will grow older. God guide him wisdom, right choice and blessings his life. Always Pray! Good starting for 10 year old up or 12 year old up.. Nowadays, Children already know and seen open up the world look like now, YouTube and many. Encourage best younger ages 10 up... Not 13.

I have one MAJOR problem with this book - it was written at at time when my son is only 18 months old and I want him to read it NOW! So I guess that means I also have one MAJOR win with this book ... IT WAS WRITTEN! The good news for me is that I have read it and intend to communicate much of this truth to him as he develops.It is so difficult to find a book, written for guys, that is not embarrassing to give to guys (or anyone for that matter). I know this may be hard to believe but some books are just difficult to read, or goofy (and I don't mean in a positive way) or just plain dumb. This makes it very hard to give them to anyone because you are, in a sense, putting your own relationship and credibility on the line to do so.I am blessed to work with youth on a daily basis and I WILL be recommending this book to every young man that I know for some time to come, in fact I will be going further and simply putting a copy in their hands asking them to read it along with me ... it is what all guys need to hear written in a way that we are able to receive it. Funny, witty, straight up, raw, and often times very blunt - but not in a way that makes anyone want to run away, rather in a way that makes us sit up and take note.Jonathan's writing style keeps attention - it is genuine, so readers know that he cares - ENOUGH to say the hard stuff, enough to say the awkward stuff, and enough to say the funny stuff as well - see "Don't text and drive until you've learn to juggle straight razors nude" and "learn to recognize Ms Hyde" for examples of this.I must confess, reading this book made me feel the same as when I read through much of the book of Proverbs - I'm not saying this book is scripture - I'm saying that it comes across simply as advice from a father to a son - just as much of proverbs does. Heed the advice, live it, apply it ... And if/when you have a son, share it with him!I will be looking for an updated version of this book in about 11 - 12 years to give to my son, but in the meantime I will be directing many to the "Guy's Guide to God, Girls and the Phone in Your Pocket".I do not give 5 star reviews often - alright, ever ... but this one gets it. Thanks for the honest, captivating, and needed writing!

Even for a teenage boy who doesn’t like to read. Brief but good and relevant information. Easy/quick read. Good book to help navigate tough times in todays society for young boys.

Great book! Made devotional time fun! Is very insightful and doesn’t give bad advice. Would recommend this book to anyone who is looking for a new devotional!

Every youth worker and parent of a teenage guy needs to get this book to give and to even work through with young guys. This book is funny, relevant, honest, hard-hitting, scriptural, and insightful. Great topics with ready-made discussion questions to spark conversations with any young guy. As a youth worker I will definitely be picking up multiple copies of this book to get into the hands of the guys in our ministry. Fantastic resource!!
