1. This is an E-Book from Mars Hill Church and Mark Driscoll. It is a frank discussion of sexuality and related topics with biblical standards. It also has some frank discussions of p*ornography and mens/women's issues.
It is a resource for campaigners or bible study, not just to hand out to kids !
2. This is a summary of a new research study on adolescent culture called "Hardwired to Connect"
The study (not Christian) concludes that students need significant and lasting connections with adults and communities (DUH!)
Here is the link and below is the description:
A team of 33 distinguished medical doctors and mental health and youth counselors set out to discover why their waiting rooms were overflowing in epidemic proportions with American youth suffering from emotional and behavioral problems, such as depression, mental illness, drug abuse, and suicidal and violent tendencies. Their young patients were well educated, up on all the latest technologies, such as cell phones and the Internet, and materially quite well off compared to their peers internationally. Yet, research on American youth finds that at least one in four of them is at serious risk of never achieving productive adulthood. What is wrong with this picture?
In Christ-
