Editorial Reviews

WHAT READERS ARE SAYING ABOUT TRAILBLAZING YOUR TEEN YEARS

"I wish when I was a teen, I had someone like Noah as a peer. I was a workaholic without great personal time management skills. I succeeded at a lot but wasn't organized in my passions or drivenness, so it created a lot of confusion. I love that quote that says, 'Work smarter, not harder.' Along comes Noah who has the ability to articulate and put together a track of mentoring for you that might just change your life. This book would be excellent for youth organizations to go through as a workbook or for youth groups to raise up leaders with. It fills a huge void when it comes to emotionally intelligent books for young men and women who have greatness inside and want to intentionally express it. Buy this if you want to get started in a powerful way right out of the gate of your teenage years." -Shawn Bolz, Author, Speaker, and TV Personality www.bolzministries.com

"Fascinating and practical, inspiring and groundbreaking, Trailblazing Your Teen Years is a book written for such a time as this. Never before have teens and young adults faced such challenges. Noah Halloran has written a game-changer to help move you past life's obstacles and not only survive, but thrive. A must-read for not only teens but adults." -Laura Frantz, Christy Award-winning author of An Uncommon Woman

"As a Motivational Speaker I have had the unique privilege of ministering into the youth culture of over 100 nations. I can wholeheartedly say that if each teenager I have taught were to read Noah Halloran's book, Trailblazing Your Teen Years, and practice its principles, a revolutionary movement of youth influencers would erupt around the world. All the essentials for a life of eternal impact are simply spelled throughout the pages of his book with practical application and resources included. Halloran artfully weaves Biblical truths, personal stories, and those from the lives of history-makers in a way that will challenge and provoke readers of all ages. However, let me warn you that what Halloran presents doesn't fit into the genre of much of the narcissistic Christian literature of this day. If you are merely looking for an entertaining read that makes you feel good about yourself this is not the book for you. But if you yearn for dynamic change in your life that will transform not only you but also the desperately needy world around you then this book- which is more like a very practical spiritual journey- you will want to begin as soon as possible!" -Jeff Pratt, Founder and Spiritual Director of Axiom Monastic Communities, and author of The Homeward Call: A Contemplative Journey Into A Love That Will Not Let You Go

"I wish I had a guy like Noah around when I was in high school and college, who had challenged me to think through these foundational issues of identity, discipline, balance, addictions, habits, taking thoughts captive, and living your one and only life with purpose. Noah has a great way of laying out the challenge and calling us UP, using a delicate balance of inviting us to discover who we really are, AND challenging us to live fully into that potential. Perhaps written for teens, there are many life lessons for all of us contained in these pages! Tackle these things now, and there will be nothing that can stop you from being everything you were created to be!" -Melissa Cheeseman Rogers, Physician, Speaker, and Co-Founder of Wellspring Prayer Center

"Trailblazing Your Teen Years is a must-read book for any person, teen or adult, looking to succeed in life. Not only is Noah's teaching practical, it's spiritually uplifting." -Crystal Caudill, Mom of Teenage Boys and Speaker for Teenage Writers
