Suppose one day someone were to ask you which Bible passage you favor the most. If you've ever wondered why some people find so much meaning in those pages while others feel lost or disconnected, let us explain. Pastor Thom O'Leary is an expert in these matters, having guided people for more than three decades to appreciate the wisdom of the bible in the context of what they are experiencing. He understands how difficult it is to simply read the bible words to oneself because it is more than this. It is important to actually feel the words of the bible.

"Harper, I don't think you should say this to me and... touch me like this," Ava spoke, but her voice lacked confidence. ------------------------------------------------------------ Ava is known as the "church girl" at school, a label that brings her nothing but trouble. Her deeply religious family insists she leads a church group for teenagers, making her an easy target for bullies. The worst of them all is Harper, a rebellious teen who despises Ava's prim and proper ways. Harper's relentless mockery and teasing make Ava's school life a daily struggle. When Harper's behavior spirals out of control, her father David is at his wit's end. Desperate for a solution, he meets his old friend Christopher at church. Christopher suggests that his daughter Ava's church group might be the answer, sharing stories of how it has helped even the most troubled teens. Reluctantly, David agrees, hoping this will be the turning point for his daughter. Now, Harper has to find out what it's like to be a "church girl." Thrust into this world, she must confront her own demons and prejudices. Ava, on the other hand, faces the daunting task of guiding the person she hates the most. As they navigate this challenging journey together, they unexpectedly discover completely new sides of each other.

I hope you use this manual as a teaching and building tool to accomplish this goal and give God the glory.

Series: A number of things, events, or people of a similar kind or related nature coming one after another. This manual is designed to help Ministries build in organization and structure. This manual also was created to help individuals within the Ministries in their spiritual process. Through this manual you will develop in a series of spiritual growth, order and unity. Proverbs 3:5-6 "Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. 6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths." In order to get a clear understanding of this manual you must start from the simplest to the most complex. Everything created in this manual is a building tool to help you grow. You will have question in the built in workbook to help you established your growth and understanding. Proverbs 3:5-6 states in a particular order.

I can't deny that I love rain, but when you have no place to dry up in after enjoying the raindrops as they pelt down against your skin, you can't help but dread the rainy days.

And, as soon as I came to a stop in front of the store's door, I felt the first drop of rain fall onto my skin, and for the first time in my life, I looked up and made a wish before opening the door and stepping into a store that could help in deciding my fate. ------------ Leila is a teenager who has nothing at all, yet alone have anything to lose.
