On My Bookshelf: Think 4:8 by Tommy Newberry

If you’ve ever tried to find a good devotional for a teenage, you might have had some issues.  For one thing, they need to be pretty short.  They also need to be relevant.   Think 4:8: 40 Days to a Joy-Filled Life for Teens fulfills both requirements.  In fact, it’s a decent devotional for just about anyone!  I would like to see a different cover on the book.  The smiley face seems rather cheesy and not really appropriate for teens. I appreciated that the book was only meant for 40 days.  That can seem like an incredibly long time for a teen; even one month’s worth of devotionals would be a good length for a book.  Additionally, the devotions are brief enough that most teens can squeeze them into a busy day.  Teaching teens to look toward that which glorifies God is a tough sell; Newberry does a good job of making it doable through this book.  Each devotional offers a take-away so that teens can focus on that issue for the day.

For an alternate use on the book, this could be used in a Sunday School setting for teens.  Reading one passage per day and working toward that goal as a group would be an applicable use of the ideas.  You could even read this book as a family, using the topics as a springboard for family discussions.

    It’s hard to pick the right books for teens. Thanks for this. I will pass it along to my mom and her husband. They work with teens in their church and this would be a great guideline.
