Here's the scoop:
The Facts of Life was teen girl drama at its finest. Yet today's teens know life if NOT like the movies. Real life means real drama ... something teens face on a daily basis. Yet, do teens have to let their lives be molded by every wave of emotion?
My Life, Unscripted empowers teen girls to write their own script and direct their own life by using God's Script as a guide.
My thoughts:
Reading this book, I was drawn to Tricia's practical ways in guiding teens to look at themselves as God would see them. There are a variety of simple exercises that could have a seriously positive impact on the lives of teens...As much of my teen years were "Unscripted" I found the values and advice, the introspection and reality of this book could have changed a lot of what happened in my life. I would have had a totally different idea on how to handle the taunting, the pressure, the lack of parental attention and all that I longed for. I was looking for a "map" from God, desperately searching and seeking within His word, but noone was able to help me make sense of it. This book can assist even adults in getting their lives back on the path God intended.
I see My Life UnScripted as a life line for teens and adults both. It is an invaluable tool in guidance and wisdom in finding one's self worth and path in Christ.
Kudos again to Tricia Goyer for what I feel is an ingenuis book only God could have inspired.
And, I believe it is truly wonderful that this woman revealed herself in such an honestly raw way.
Summary:
Drawing on Biblical prinicples, My Life, Unscripted guides girls through the tumultous teen years by teaching them to have a plan of attack before temptation or hardship come.
Tricia's Script:
Looking back at my drama-filled teen years I now wonder ... What was I thinking?
The truth? I wasn't. I lived from day to day on every wave of emotion. Some days excitement and passion partnered up, pattering wildly within my heart.
Other days, depression and anxiety were my silent friends. I lived each day as it came, with no plan for my future, for my relationships, or for my heart.
I lived my life completely unscripted ... and, well, it didn't go well for me. Teen pregnancy and a broken heart were only two consequences. Yet my prayer is that when teen girls are asked Who's Writing Your Life? their answer will be ME ... with the guidance of God, My Director.
