My Review of Follow Jesus

Follow Jesus: A Christian Teen’s Guide to Navigating the Online World is a short interactive workbook is one that every Christian teen should read. It speaks about how to infuse Christian traits such as grace, integrity, love, wisdom, and faithfulness in our online identities. There are eight traits covered in the book.

Each chapter has a short discourse on what the particular Christian principle means including biblical references. Christine then gives a number of scriptural references so the teen can go deeper into the topic. She includes an interactive exercise where they can identify the Bible verse which best embodies the principle for them, and how to analyze it for personal meaning and application. There are verses to memorize for each principle. These can be torn out and used as memory aids.

She encourages the reader to set goals and challenges for each Christian principle. Teens are also encouraged to speak to a mentor about how each trait can be implemented. Then she provides a personal checklist for displaying each trait online.

Christine is the friendly adult who cares about how the teen is representing Christ online and her voice is gentle as she walks them through each principle. I can see this book being used by youth ministries and parents who want their children to learn to be more Christ-like in their interactions on the internet.
