Publisher Description:

After losing his girlfriend and realizing his life is going nowhere fast, eighteen-year-old tough guy Shane Donahue wonders if being alive is worth it.

A classmate suggests God could turn his life around, and Shane figures he might as well give it a try--he's got nothing to lose. Until he's arrested for a serious crime and has to decide whether to fight or pray

The author of this book was presented with a plaque and a "Deeds Speak" certificate from then York Region Police Chief Armand P. LaBarge for the "contribution to facilitating positive change within the community" and "assisting youth in dealing with issues like anger, fear, and peer pressure" through the book.

Reviews

"The plot flows like a mountain stream and I found it hard to stop between chapters." --a sixteen-year-old male reader

"Complex issues such as personal salvation, racism, doubt, fear, bullying, and failure are all tackled in a simple but profound way, with characters of different ethnic backgrounds." --Read for Life

Contributor Bio(s): Lindquist, N. J.: - I'm the creator and publisher of the best-selling Hot Apple Cider books, and the author of the award-winning The Circle of Friends YA series and the standalone novel, In Time of Trouble. Whether I'm writing or speaking, the stories I tell have heart, soul, and satisfying endings. In past lives, I've been a high school Teacher of the Year, a homeschooler, part of several church planting teams, a youth leader, a CE Director, a church planter, a small group leader, and founder and executive director of a national writers group. I've been speaking to groups of all sizes since I was in my early twenties. A few of my favourite themes are hope, creativity, leadership, and making disciples. I've also been teaching writers since 1992 and have a website dedicated to that. Mostly, I love seeing people grow, do what they love, and live joy-filled, meaningful lives. I'm a member of the Writers Union of Canada, Sisters in Crime, Crime Writers of Canada, Advanced Writers and Speakers Association, and The Word Guild. My hobbies include reading; listening to music (esp. country); watching baseball, basketball, curling, and ultimate frisbee; and doing jigsaw puzzles. I live in the Greater Toronto (Canada) area. I'm also the author of the Paul Manziuk and Jacquie Ryan Mysteries (as J. A. Menzies). www.njlindquist.com
