Book Review:
Chicken Soup for the
Christian Teen Soul

This book is so awesome. I love a lot it's one of my favorites! It's short stories are definitely page turner and I would recommend it to anyone. The stories are constantly talking about inspiration and hope.

It doesn't matter your belief or religion it's still a good book and has good advice for anyone. The poems and stories and occasional bible verses really taught to believe in myself and to be confident and to appreciate life.

I hope you enjoy reading and appreciating the meaningfulness of this book and if you enjoyed this book then you might enjoy reading Chicken Soup for the Christian Soul. There pretty similar but it's for all ages!

From the author of Survival Meditations for Parents of Teens
I love to see that there are books out there that can help our children and teens bring God into their lives on a daily basis. For parental inspiration check out my new book. A nice companion for us during these challenging years of raising teens!

A great spirit...
Most of the series of 'Chicken Soup for the Soul' has the kind of warm and fuzzy story that many find endearing and sweet. They are not 'deep' most of the time, but do point to things beyond themselves; for my own use, I often find sermon illustrations and stories within the pages of volumes of Chicken Soup -- as chaplain at a retirement centre, many of the stories help people to recall happier times, and help them deal with their present situation.

This particular volume involves stories withspecifically Christian themes.The broad topics of the Christian life - love, giving (generosity), family and parenting, faith and hope, overcoming obstacles, death and dying - all these are addressed here, the contributingauthors making explicitly Christian connections in their narratives. Much in the manner that Readers Digest accepts unsolicited stories from amateur authors, so does the Chicken Soup series. Often the most meaningful stories are those that happen to people who are not professional writers.However, there are 'names' among the contributors to this volume;

Each of this stories can easily be read in a short time. This makes it a good source for 'falling-asleep reading', for use in public speaking and preaching opportunites, for shared reading-aloud times, and for simple enjoyment and entertainment. Many of the stories here are ones that stay with you; these are stories I use again and again in my chaplaincy, and they are always appreciated.

The editors of the primary series 'Chicken Soup' are Jack Canfield and Mark Victor Hansen; for purposes of this volume, they are joined by Patty Aubrey and Nancy Mitchell, who also helped with the 'Chicken Soup for the Surviving Soul'volume.

A Warm Blessing
If you are a Christian, you need this book on your book shelf.The stories are moving, faithfilled and filled with joy. Prepare to laugh, prepare to cry ... prepare to further BELIEVE!

Another "keeper" added to my collection...
After reading almost every edition of the Chicken Soup series of books during the past 10 years, this one being my latest read, I wanted to comment on how wonderful and inspiring the collection of stories and books have been to me.
Chicken soup:the simple, all-natural, inexpensive, easy-to-digest, comfort food, ingested for physical ailments.The title of this series of books promises the same, for the soul/spirit of the reader.And it delivers.Sometimes I feel it contains much more than mere chicken soup, but an arsenal of potent antibotics.
Divided and organized into categories or chapters, each book has stories each person can relate to, written about real people who have overcome obstacles, inspired, learned, thus encouraging the reader to do the same.
With a steady bombardment of negative news, I feel the Chicken Soup series of books creates a much-needed balance of hope to the sometimes-ignored, silent spirit that dwells within us.
If you have not already discovered this series, do yourself a favor and find a book within your interest range or start from the beginning with the first book.These books also make a terrific gift for a friend.

I love this book!
This is such a great book-i would reccomend it to anyone!It is upliftingand after reading it you'll want to read it over and over again!

What a Wonderful Book!
This is a wonderful book.Once I started it, I didn't want to put it down.I love a format of vignettes (short essays or stories).If you aren't a Christian, you may think these stories are too churchy or just can't be real.But if you ARE a Christian, you know exactly how the power of God carries us through everyday life.The theme of this book touches the soul of Christian women.Stories are either told by a woman of faith, or are about a woman of faith.Both men and women share real incidences from their life, covering nearly every scenario imaginable.The horrible:death, cancer, physical disfigurements, abuse, divorce.And the glorious:miraculous healings, new love, the wonder of children, God's protective hand.Though quite varied in content, each story testifies to God's grace, strength, and abundant love.The Chicken Soup people have outdone themselves with this uplifting collection to warm and heal the soul of the Christian woman.Blessings to them.And blessings to you from the MenopauseLady.Donna Rogers, author The Menopause Survival Guide.
