on Sale February 2009.

How many young adults are hurting their families, and how many families, for their part, are hurting their children? Why does our society praise people who act like jerks, and put down its genuine heroes? This needs to end! By communicating with each other and by loving and living with God, we can successfully face our troubled world.

Youth minister Justin Fatica, himself, used to be a destructive and hurtful person. But he found God, changed his life, and learned that, with the love and help of strong communities, people can build themselves up, feel inspired, and truly change the world. Recently featured in an HBO documentary, Justin Fatica's Hard As Nails Ministries helps kids and teens deal with real and terrible issues - suicide, molestation, cutting, abuse . . . the list goes on. With the support of Hard As Nails Ministries, young adults are learning, not only to cope, but also to value their lives and appreciate those around them.

Justin's book, Hard As Nails, inspires and advises both adults and teens. It helps adults to better understand the pain that adolescents endure, and it supports youth leaders and young adults as they grow in their faith, their love, and their admiration of all people. It teaches young adults who are struggling that they are not alone. With God's love and help, young adults can heal their pain and can grow to become great men and women.

Sincere and insightful for young adults, Hard As Nails includes first person dialogues and letters from teens who are in pain and who have found strength in God. Justin's message, meant for young and old alike, explains why we must meet our challenging world with powerful and positive solutions.

God is love, love is God, and if we don't know love, we can't know God. No matter how big or small, young or old, by sharing our hearts with each other and with God, we can love each other and know we're important.
