The Juice Lady's Turbo Diet: Lose 10 pounds in 10 days-the healthy way! by Cherie Calbom

In this book, you'll discover not only the principles behind juicing, but the recipes to help you serve up freshly made juices and delicious raw foods as part of a lifestyle to lose weight and keep it off for good. There are five main reasons why the Turbo Diet works so well:

* It supplies an abundance of nutrients that satisfy the body. Cravings often diminish and vitality soars!

* Live foods and juices detoxify the body. Toxins can actually cause us to gain weight. It's true. And they can make it very difficult to lose weight.

* Fresh veggie juice and raw foods alkalize the body. Actually, the body stores acids in fat cells to protect delicate tissues and organs making it tough to get rid of this stuff. But listen up - the body will actually make fat to store acids when it runs out of storage space.

* The Turbo Diet is energizing. Fatigue vanishes; and our work-outs get easier.

* If you're counting calories, this program is low in those little energy units, devoid of bad carbs, and high on life-giving nutrition.

The Juice Lady's Turbo Diet serves up freshly made juices and delicious raw foods recipes as part of a lifestyle to lose weight and keep if off for good! This plan works so well because it feeds the body an abundance of vitamins, minerals, enzymes, and phytonutrients. You can use everything! The body doesn't need to shuttle off harmful acids or toxic additives into fat cells. So voila! You're losing weight while hardly trying. Learn more.

Do you have a reluctant reader in your family? Hand him one of these page-turners, sit back and watch what happens.

Walls, Brawls, and the Great Rebellion, book 2 of the Manga Bible series, puts a new spin on some Old Testament books.

The Cross and the Switchblade by David Wilkerson

The classic story of David Wilkerson's work with New York gangs and the conversion of violent drug users including Nicky Cruz (who continues to evangelise young people today) has captured viewers for over thirty years. Although the original events depicted in this classic film from the drug infested, gang dominated streets happened over thirty years ago, the life-changing solution that David Wilkerson brought to desperate lives was just beginning. The beat goes on.

The change in the life of notorious gang leader Nicky Cruz, as shown in the film, proved to be wonderfully lasting and real. Nicky continues today to reach young people around the world with the same life-changing message of the gospel of Jesus Christ that delivered him from violence and despair.

And what about the skinny preacher, David Wilkerson, who braved the meanest streets of New York to tell desperate and drug crazed youth that there was a better way? Now, three decades later, he is still at it with a ministry based in Times Square that is still changing lives and offering genuine hope to countless souls who had given up on life.

Now in over 25 languages, The Cross and the Switchblade, starring Pat Boone and Eric Estrada, is one of those rare films that has shown its unique power to connect with the deepest hopes and fears of youth around the world. It remains today one of the most compelling stories of love, grace and the truth that no one is ever so far gone that they cannot find the way out.

It is now 30 years since Nicky Cruz was converted, and his conversion has lasted. This special anniversary release of the ever popular film tells the true story of the beginning of David Wilkerson's work among the gangs of New York City and the dramatic conversion of the notorious street fighter, Nicky Cruz. This film, while now almost three decades old, is still used around the world to help young people find new life in Christ. Starring Pat Boone and Eric Estrada.

3Story Evangelism Training Curriculum Kit by Youth Specialties

Do traditional witnessing methods feel uncomfortable for your students, even though they really want to share their faith? This innovative curriculum shows them how to focus on three narrative dramas: God's, their own, and that of the friend they're trying to reach. Bibically based and culturally relevant, the set features eight 50-minutes sessions on two DVDs and includes five participant guides.

Evangelism is an essential element of every youth group. But when traditional evangelism methods prove awkward, ineffective, or uncomfortable for students to embrace, it's almost impossible to equip your students to understand and share their faith. But 3Story is different. 3Story is a way of life that guides followers of Christ to BE good news while telling stories of THE Good News.

Based squarely on relationships, 3Story focuses God's story, my story (the student), and their story (their friends). This two-disc curriculum course (based on Youth for Christ's 3Story training) presents an interactive learning experience that equips students to live and practice the 3Story lifestyle - a biblically based, culturally relevant form of discipleship-evangelism that emphasizes being real in personal interactions.

With eight 50-minute training sessions - and options to use as is or create your own 3Story training event - this curriculum kit is an ideal resource for youth workers who want to teach students how to build deep, authentic relationships with Jesus and genuine, transparent relationships with friends. Includes 2 DVDs and 5 participant's guides. Published by Youth Specialties.
