About this Book:

 

Tackling Tough Topics with Faith and Fiction puts you and your 11 - 14 year olds on the same team. Doctrinally-sound, non-preachy, and engaging, this faith-based resource opens up the playing field to tackle tough topics together. Fictional stories about contemporary teens are used as a vehicle to show the value of faith in difficult times and sensitive situations. Each chapter - the content of which can be assessed based on students' levels of maturity and need - focuses on a real life challenge to the faith as experienced by a fictional character. The ten topics explored in this book are:

 

  • Pornography
  • Cyberbullying
  • Modesty
  • Family
  • Materialism/Consumerism
  • Dishonesty
  • Body Image
  • Substance Abuse
  • Stress to Overachieve
  • Depression

    Along with the fictional component, each chapter includes statistical facts helpful for approaching the topic, discussion questions, links to Scripture and the Catechism of the Catholic Church, an activity, a prayer, and a concluding message offering practical advice for how students can deal with the respective issue.
