New Teen Novel Geared To Young Men

  Ever since you realized that you would grow up someday, you’ve been eagerly reaching for that milestone.
Grown-ups have it good, right? They get to go wherever they want. They have so many choices: what to eat, where to sleep, where to work.  Nobody tells them what to do.  Being a grown-up, yeah, life is easy.
    In the new teen novel “Promise Kept” by Stephanie Perry Moore, a young man learns that being an adult comes with certain responsibilities. Can his vows be honored while he stays true to himself?
    Everybody thinks Perry Skky, Jr. has it great. He’s an important part of his college’s football team, and they’re going to the playoffs.  Perry’s got a steady girl now, a nice place to live and roommates he likes. He’s doing well in college and he’s got a supportive family.  But Perry’s feeling pressure.

    The night before the playoffs, Perry’s teammates want to celebrate early.  Although he knows Coach’s rules and although he’s underage, Perry agrees to go out with his friends instead of trusting his gut and his God. 
    Perry wonders if it’s true that God only gives you as much as you can handle.  A run-in with a vicious gang, Savoy’s brother getting hurt, a friend who’s drug addicted… with all these frustrations and problems, can Perry keep his promises to God and himself?
“Promise Kept” is a different sort of a literary critter.  It’s meant for boys, specifically teen boys, and Christian teen boys at that. 
    If you are a young man who embraces Christianity but don’t know what to read, get a copy of “Promise Kept”. For you, this is a novel with plenty of promise.
