Did you know you can pray to God like you're talking to your friend? I did but I didn't know how to. Until I found this book called "Girl talk with God." Susie Shellenberger is the author. She's also the editor of Brio magazine.

 

This book is not like any other book. It does have chapters, but the chapters are drama scripts. In the beginning and end of each chapter has a paragraph or two of what Susie thinks and says about each chapter. In the scripts there's a girl, the same age as all of us, talking to God.

 

But this girl talks to God about everyday stuff - from becoming a Christian, to divorce, to sex, to having a boyfriend, to marriage. But she talks to God like she's talking to a friend. Every now and then God will tell her to look up a certain verse in the Bible. She won't know where she last left her Bible. So God will tell her where her Bible is.

 

Have you ever ran over a passage and not know what it meant? In this book it tells you what some important verses mean.

 

This book has inspired me to pray to God like I'm talking to a friend.
