The Guy's Guide to God, Girls, and the Phone in Your Pocket: 101 Real-World Tips for Teenaged Guys Kindle Edition

My son loves this book. Each section is only a few pages so they hold his attention. He also says the book is not boring as there are lots of colors and fonts so it stimulates his brain to read it. Some of the reviews criticize the book claiming it is not a suitable devotional. I don't think the book is really intended as such. I think it is more intended to get teenage boys to THINK about the world we live in today and how the choices they make now shape who they become as an adult and teaches them how they can help themselves make better choices. My son has read most of the book and has discussed a lot of it with me - pointing out different perspectives that he had not considered that have helped him to better understand why his dad and I have made certain decisions regarding his restrictions and consequences for violating those restrictions. All in all, very pleased with this purchase.

We just finished this book. It was our nightly devotion for the past four months. My boys are ages 9,13 & 15. I cannot express to you how valuable this book has been. Each night as we read the devotion together, sometimes blushing, we Cover topics that boys need to hear. I cannot recommend this book enough!

I have a 15yr old son who loves to read, loves God and so I thought this would be a great book for him. It is well written and helps him to understand things such as girls and dating. It is a must have for teenage boys everywhere.

This book is an awesome book for junior high through high school guys! The author offers hilarious, real advice like take a shower, shave that peach fuzz, use gum! He balances it with tough truths that every young man needs to hear—no means no, get off porn, read your Bible daily. Each topic is short, straightforward, and usually filled with humor. The guys that read them loved the book and got through it quickly! I’m buying more for my youth group guys!

This is one of about 8 books I purchased for my 13yo's sex-ed studies. We are very happy with the purchase and like he other books they seem to be very helpful. He's a big reader to start with and given the subject, I expected this. However he is learning so much and we are talking more with him. He feels free to bring it up, not us. He's no longer emarised about the subject and speaks about it like a young adult should, freely. Yet he still believes sex if strictly for marriage, Which had been supported more by the reading. We just don't want him to be naive, we know how sexualized every aspect of life has become.

I bought this book for my little brother, age 13, since he is going into that phase where he is practically new things. I was a bit iffy about buying this for a gift because my brother doesn't really read but it resulted that my brother actually started reading the book. He enjoys the book and even wants to let a cousin borrow it. Great book!

This is perfect for my 13-year old son, it was a Christmas gift, and we now enjoy reading a bit in the morning before school or in the evening before bed. A wonderful way to begin or end the day. Not only are these valuable lessons that give us something to think on, but it is also great for either/both his father and I to read with our son, and it opens up the chance to discuss what we are reading. My lone complaint (and it's not really even a complaint!) is I wished there was more scripture verses, but overall this is an excellent book for a young man!! Thank you!

I wanted a devotional type book that was practical for teenage boys and related to things they are dealing with at their age. We started adding the readings to our night time devotions with my son at night. They are great reminders and lessons, and I'm glad we decided to buy this book! Most nights the tips are very relatable to things we've dealt with having a 16 year old son. Most nights a scripture passage is included that goes along with the tip. There are a few that are just for fun (with no Bible verses) like "10 movies you must see." I haven't seen all of the movies mentioned, so I'm not sure if they are good choices or not. For the most part, we have really appreciated the tips in this book and have liked the conversations it has opened up for us with our son. It would be great for younger teens (and tweens) and is good for older teens as well.

I bought this for my son’s 13th birthday. It’s funny, serious and has a lot of thought provoking questions. We love reading it together

Every youth worker and parent of a teenage guy needs to get this book to give and to even work through with young guys. This book is funny, relevant, honest, hard-hitting, scriptural, and insightful. Great topics with ready-made discussion questions to spark conversations with any young guy. As a youth worker I will definitely be picking up multiple copies of this book to get into the hands of the guys in our ministry. Fantastic resource!!

Thought I'd be the first to read this in my house ... Until one of my teen got ahold of it "This is practical stuff that you need to know but don't always want to ask, where can I get a copy?" For a kid that barely reads, that's saying something. Really appreciate his insights and down to earth approaches to the things my guys struggle with, get confronted with and need to make, at time touch, choices on.

My son doesn't like to read books at all but said it was a fun book to read. I asked him to read it then he can have a cellphone.
