“You are going to meet one Christian guy that seems nice on the outside and is really a terrible person, and you will fall in love get marred then he’ll dump you.” Bella said. “You need to go to clubs so that you will meet terrible guys so you will know not to marry them.”
“What?” Jill stared at her blankly.
“Right now you have nothing to base any experiences off of.” Bella explained. “You are stuck in your perfect Christian world and don’t know anything about the real world.”
“I know about the real world.” Jill said.
“No you don’t. You are too young. You don’t even know yourself.” Bella insisted. “I mean what are you basing yourself off of?”
“God,” Jill replied.
“Oh my, you sound just like me when I was your age.” Bella began. “That is no good.” Mother was in the room and started laughing.
“What do you mean that’s no good? That is exactly what Jill should have said.” Mother replied.
“But she is going to get out into the world…” Bella kept talking. Jill was fed up. She wanted to just say, “My life is mine, so stop trying to make it go a certain way.”

About the Book
Have you ever wondered if God doesn’t really care about the ninety-nine sheep that stayed? Do you ever think that getting in trouble will give you recognition and love when you return?
Choosing Is a Choice is about Christian teens making choices once they are beginning to emerge from under their parents’ influence. This book takes them through a journey, with a youth group or by themselves, as they read stories about how Jill Tiektion makes decisions that bring her closer to God, and how her life was impacted by the numerous bad decisions that others made around her.
Teens will find adventure is not only for the ones being rescued from the wrongs they have committed. Life is challenging and exciting without experiencing the bad decisions that others have made. Discover the effects words and lies have on decisions, teens making convictions for themselves, and the need to know what God thinks about them while they discover the truth that every day, their choices are theirs alone.
