"STREET STORIES" is a collection of contemporary, hip and powerful short stories written for Broken Bread Christian Alliance by several different Christian authors. Each one tells the story of a young adult, teenager or child who is struggling with - and looking for answers to - some kind of real-life crisis. We believe this collection “tells it like it is,” and will reach young people of all ethnicities with the message of Jesus Christ; speaking through life-episodes many teens are struggling with, or at least relate to.
These well-written stories of desperation and struggle each conclude with a Christian message of hope and redemption. Excellent for youth groups and outreaches of all kinds, we pray these “Street Stories” tracts will someday cover the whole world with God’s message of love and freedom from sin. These stories are written for teens 13 years old and up. Some deal with somewhat sensitive subjects, and a caution guideline for these is noted with the label SOME SENSITIVE MATERIAL.
