About me: About the Book
Funny to serious, shallow to deep, the 500 questions in this book will get teens laughing, thinking and talking about their emotions, beliefs, dreams, and values. Designed to open the door for conversation that will deepen relationships, these questions can be used within families, among friends, or with complete strangers, not just youth groups. Arranged in no particular order, they can be used as time-killers on road trips, icebreakers in small groups, crowd-mixers in large groups, or simply in one-on-one conversations.

"For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables." - 2 Timothy 4:3,4
LOVED the book PK!!! it was great! and i'm already using it for youth stuff!! Gotta tell you, thought that question #186, was particularly hilarious, b/c well... i did live there. :)
