How To Keep it Real

Has regret over past denial of God kept you from the purpose he has for your life? The good news is God does not want you to stay sidelined by past mistakes. By comparing the story of Peter's denial to my own, this book shows how one tough conversation with Jesus could be the thing that moves you forward to radically living for him.

In this book, readers will be introduced to three things.

• Possible reasons for denial of God through our words and actions
• What a life following Jesus looks like
• How to step into God's purpose for your life through an encounter with Jesus

Endorsement:

As a teacher, Drew Hall understands better than most, the difficulties teens, and young adults face in today's society. Few people understand how to instruct the next generation to "keep it real" better than Drew. In this book, he brilliantly relates the story of Peter's failure, restoration, and renewed resolve to show the next generation that they can move beyond mistakes, live for Jesus, and "keep it real" so that others can see Christ through them. Drew pulls no punches as he thoughtfully writes of the sticky subjects facing today's teens offering biblical principles to help them move forward with faithfulness and commitment in their walk with Christ. I recommend this book as a resource for parents, teachers, and youth pastors as they seek to help teens navigate this current cultural moment.
