If you’re a teen who’s tired of low expectations and weightless platitudes, this book will help you dig into the Bible and make the time you spend reading count for eternity. Katherine Forster walks you through three simple practices that changed how she reads Scripture—observation, interpretation, and application— so you too can begin to understand what God has said in his word and discover how God’s truth can literally transform you from the inside out.

"The cardinal rules when it comes to life are: LOVE IS THE ONLY THING WORTH SUFFERING FOR. REALITY IS THE ONLY THING WORTH HAVING. FREEDOM IS THE ONLY THING WORTH DYING FOR." I interrupted, "Shouldn't it be that freedom is worth living for?" "My God," replied Garlic. "Why did I have to get you? Look, candy is worth living for. TV is worth living for. Going to the beach is worth living for. Sex is definitely worth living for. There are an endless number of things that are worth living for, but there is only one thing that is worth dying for, and that is freedom, although sometimes I wonder about the sex thing." "You dog," I replied. "So what is truth?" I asked. Garlic continued. "THERE ARE THREE SPIRITUAL FORCES IN THE UNIVERSE. THEY ARE LOVE, TRUTH, AND MISUNDERSTANDING, AND GOD CREATED TRUTH TO BRING MISUNDERSTANDING BACK TO LOVE. THE TRUTH IS THAT WHICH BRINGS YOU FROM MISUNDERSTANDING BACK TO LOVE."

So often people equate being slim with being healthy, and with so many people searching for ways to lose weight, dieting books are in abundance. But so few of these books actually back their information with scientific research and proven weight-loss methods, instead relying on celebrity to sell the latest fad. They often do little to help people achieve their weight-loss goals, leading to frustration and even excess weight gain. That's where The Pick 'n Mix Diet comes in! With this book, you will lose weight by using a very different approach from other diet and nutrition books. Unlike those books, the weight-loss plan presented here doesn't require sticking to the same boring diet for several months, but rather incorporates 10 different diets that can be changed every week. These diets include reduced carb, reduced fat, high protein, low energy density, Japanese, flexitarian, and various intermittent fasting diets—all backed by scientific evidence. By picking and mixing various diets, you will prevent dieting boredom, have fewer cravings, and will be more likely to stick to your weight-loss plan. More importantly, the variety will ensure there are no nutrient deficiencies. In addition, the diets are combined with light to moderate exercise so that you will only lose fat, not lean muscle. Sticking to one boring diet for weeks on end is not the way to lose weight. Rather, this novel but evidence-based approach to weight loss is guaranteed to be effective, healthy, and safe. With The Pick 'n Mix Diet, you can achieve any weight-loss goal!
