At Last...A Prayer Guide Just For Teens Who Want to Encounter Christ in a Deeper, More Personal Way

If you know any teenagers who...

  • Want to develop a deeper prayer life...
  • Have difficulties with prayer...
  • Just can’t find the time to pray...
  • Don’t know how to pray... or don’t see much value in prayer...

    ...then you — and they — need to know about Jason Evert’s new book Pure Faith: A Handbook of Prayer for Catholic Youth. It’s a unique prayer guide designed exclusively for teenagers. It’s short enough that a teenager will read it, yet it’s packed with spiritual wisdom and advice from saints and holy men and women, as well as prayers for a variety of needs, circumstances, and individuals.

    With this guide in hand, your teen will know how to pray simply and effectively... how to draw closer to God through prayer... and how to use prayer to meet and overcome the challenges he or she faces.

    Here’s just some of what your teen will discover in the pages of Pure Faith...

  • The first requirement of prayer, according to Blessed Mother Teresa. No, it’s not faith, contrition, or humility — it’s actually something much simpler and easier.
  • Want to encounter Christ, but don’t know how? Crucial advice for teens from Pope John Paul II.
  • Get your prayer life going in under a minute a day. Start small for big results.
  • Prayers must always be put into words, right? Wrong! How even simply smiling can be a prayer that’s pleasing to God.
  • The five kinds of prayer. Is your prayer life missing any of these crucial elements?
  • Why prayer is such a struggle for so many. And the one simple step that makes it come much more naturally and frequently.
  • What to do when distractions come. An opportunity for growth if you don’t let them upset you.
  • You pray and pray and pray, yet your relationship with Christ stagnates. St. John Vianney’s simple, powerful, and effortless solution.
  • How the devil craftily uses your hurts and mistakes to separate you from Christ — just when you need him the most.
  • Turn your entire life and everything you do into a prayer. It’s easier than you might think.
  • An easy to follow spiritual plan of life. Simple steps that keep you united to Christ.
  • Eliminate the separation between prayer and work. How to pray and work at the same time — no matter what your job.
  • When your prayer life turns dry and dull. Don’t despair — celebrate! Here’s why.
  • The astonishing spiritual benefits of praying the Rosary. It would be a tragedy to miss them.
  • Having difficulty staying focused while praying the Rosary? If so, don’t despair — you’re in the good company of St. Therese. Here’s what to do about it.
  • How the devil uses your sins to undermine your prayer life. And how remembering the words of St. John Vianney can help you put Satan in his place and get reconciled with God.
  • Why God gave us the sacrament of reconciliation. It’s not a burden — but a gift!
  • Feel your love of God growing cold? It’s bound to happen — here’s what to pray when it does.
  • And much, much more.

    As you can see, Pure Faith is a treasure trove of spiritual wisdom that every teen (and probably many adults!) needs.

    A must have for any Catholic young adult 5.00 out of 5

    By: Sarah Liz (Detroit, Mi, January 13, 2011) Verified Buyer
    Pros: Teaches what prayer is; Variety of prayers;
    Best Uses: Everyday prayer;
    Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
    This book is written by Jason Evert. As a young Catholic, his books have really helped me understand and deepen my faith. I use this book every morning and evening for prayer. He starts the book with an introduction, "How to Pray." And even though we've all been taught how to pray, many struggle with it and question if they are doing it right, etc. Taking the time to read it really benefited me. He also introduces every "prayer section" with a fitting quote from a saint or other religious. The variety of prayers are wonderful. I highly recommend this book for any teen or young adult. This book and any of Jason's other books are a must have. God bless.
