| When Serenity decides that being a Christian means she has to make some major changes in her life, she takes the blue dye out of her hair, gets rid of all her old clothes and posters, and begins wearing clothes that are more Amish in style. She sets such strict rules for herself that her fun-loving personality disappears. Luckily some wise friends intervene and help her understand that becoming a Christian doesn't mean that she has to give up everything that made her a unique and joyful person. Volumes 7-10 in the Serenity series all feature two stories: the continuation of Serenity's adventures and a bonus "movie" that has been created by Serenity and her friends. In volume #10, the movie is a spoof about obsession and is called "Fraulein Stein's Monster." |

| Conversations between God and a teenage girl inspire, teach, and motivate young women to pray and live a dynamic life for God. Most Christian teens don't know how to pray. And when they do pray, they don't know how to discern God's voice. In Girl Talk With God, author Susie Shellenberger shows teens how to pray and challenges them to deepen specific areas in their lives through a series of conversations between God and a teenage girl. As editor of Brio magazine, a Focus on the Family publication for teenage girls with a circulation of over 200,000, Shellenberger has proven a keen ability to reach this often-misunderstood age group with her signature blend of casual, non-threatening teaching. |
