Help! I’m in Darkness

Many teenagers today are suffering in darkness. They also suffer in silence. In the midst of the confusion surrounding the subject of depression, God’s Word shines like a steady beacon of hope and peace. When you learn to focus on the Person and Work of Jesus Christ, you will experience genuine joy that the world cannot offer, and true light that cannot be dimmed.

In the darkness of your suffering, God sent His Son to be the light of the world so you can have hope.

This new series should provide some great help for young people at a crossroads on issues having to do with peers, parents, worldly voices, and inner struggles. I wholeheartedly endorse this effort designed to bring the Scriptures to bear in a relevant way for both teens and those ministering to them.

“Unlike the many counseling resources we can find for adults, there are few directly relatable to teens and the issues they face. These mini-books bring the Scriptures to bear in a relevant way for both teens and those ministering to them.”
