Teens and Spirituality: Being Real / Jerry Shepherd

For many teenagers, it's not cool to show interest in organized religion. They often believe that religion is something that's not quite real--at least, not as real as everyday experiences like family, friends, foes, school, parties, love, hate, anger, desire, and frustration. The Being Real series shows how Catholicism recognizes the realities of teenage life and calls teens to a higher ideal.

Teens and Spirituality includes information on teens' spiritual life, God's response to teens, and how teens can grow closer to God through specific Catholic practices.
