Drugs, Sex, and Alcohol are taboo topics to chat about with the teen-agers. After working with youth for over six years, Marcus Brotherton knows how to approach these tough subjects in his FlipSwitch books Buzz and Heat.
These are graphic, comic books full of memorable quotes and statistics about teen drinking, pregnancy and what the bible says about these issues. Heat discusses the rush for teen-agers to give into sexual peer pressure and gives a sarcastic spin on everyday myths to help create a view of reality. Youth pastors and parents can use this book as a starting point to start discussion on how pressures affect teen’s everyday.
Buzz is written with a very down to earth and a “scare you straight” tone. From “are you cool” quizzes (in relation to how much you drink) to different state and federal laws dealing with drug possession policies. Friends of teenagers who do party can read this book and use it as a guide to talking with their friends.
Two books in the series are titled Split: A Graphic Reality Check for Teens Dealing with Divorce and Blur: A Graphic Reality Check for Teens Dealing with Self-Image. All published by Multnomah.
