The Truth About Dating, Love, and Just Being Friends, by Chad Eastham, is the best book on teenage relationships I've ever read! Candid, funny, and insightful, Eastham really knows how to connect with teens--and tell them what they need to hear. A proper view of God and self and relationships is SO important during the crazy teenage years, and this book gives just that without being preachy. Eastham challeges teens to use their God-given brains, explaining that people can do things well, or they can do them poorly. Dating is no exception.
As a twenty-something mother who dated well, I still wish I'd had this book as a teen! There is so much helpful, insightful information here that I had to learn from experience. If only I'd had someone to share this information in such an open, friendly way when I was in the middle of it!
Disclosure of Material Connection: I received this book free from the publisher through the BookSneeze®.com book review bloggers program. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.

Justified by Faith Alone by R.C. Sproul
Justified by Faith Alone by R.C. Sproul is a short little book, but packed with great insight and tight logic. It is written on a pretty high level of vocabulary, so I wouldn't recommend it to the person who is only casually interested in the subject. It is more like a college professor lecture than a devotional book written about faith. If you are looking for an academic look at the subject, you will not be disappointed.
The book is written as a recap of the struggle the reformers faced with the Roman Catholic Church. Although much of the book is rooted in historical arguments, Dr. Sproul mentions many contemporary issues that stem from the distinction evangelicals have in sola fide. It is not concerned with additional arguments, such as monergism vs synergism, so both Arminians and Calvinists would find it to represent their views.
Just over an hour in length, the audio is crisp and the narrator does a great job, even with the Latin phrases.
