Help! I’m Lonely

In spite of being surrounded by people and continual access to social media, many teens like you feel lonelier than ever. Thankfully, God’s Word speaks into your loneliness. Jesus suffered the ultimate loneliness so that you can experience the genuine belonging you crave so deeply. It turns out that your feelings of loneliness are actually an invitation from God Himself. Your journey of belonging awaits.

For God to disown you, He would have to disown Jesus–and you can be certain that will never happen.

Teens struggle with constantly changing moods, overpowering emotional extremes, identity uncertainty, friendship conflicts, and paralyzing doubts about how God is relevant to their struggles.... These booklets will show not only the sufficiency of the Bible, but also its relevancy for the problems youth face today.

— Dr. John Street

The teen years are pivotal years in which young people seek to clarify their identity and determine the convictions, goals, and truths that will shape their lives. Addressing a range of topics that relate directly to the challenges they are facing, the LifeLine for Teens mini-books provide biblical wisdom to shepherd the hearts of teens. Simple, without being shallow. Succinct, yet full of truth—pointing teens to biblical hope and gospel encouragements. While teens are the target, these mini-books also prove helpful for anyone who desires to understand and minister more effectively to the next generation.

— Dr. Tedd Tripp

“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.”
