"Here is a book with much to offer
young women who are encouraged by loving parents, church school
teachers–and by church librarians–to read and ponder
the possibilities."
—Journal of the Lutheran Church Library
Association
Kerl engages readers in devotionals and
challenges on topics such as:
• Who Are You?

"Are
You Listening, Lord? focuses on positive feelings and attitudes
toward even difficult issues in adolescent years. Without preaching,
it is clear that the Christian perspective makes the difference."
—Nancy Taylor Coghill, Ph.D., U. of Southwestern
Louisiana.
"...is a wonderful book for a young
teen girl because it does not philosophize about her relationship
to God. Instead it presents short, practical, simply-stated paths
for her to follow as she confronts the real feelings and issues
of her life. Any young teen girl who reads Are You Listening,
Lord? will believe the Lord is listening and that He understands
and cares about her. She will also believe that God must have
sent Kerl to give her some useful guidance."
—Kay Moser, Author of best-selling novel,
Celebration!
"Like candles lining a path to happiness,
the author, in her wonderful communicative style, sends a guiding
message to teenage girls on dealing with the problems of today's
fast-track society. Riding the theme that answers to all problems
are found in God's Word, each bit of advice is taken from a passage
of Scripture."
—Stoney Hardcastle, Eastern Oklahoma State
College.
"Are You Listening, Lord?
by design makes the readers feel good about themselves while receiving
instructions for life based on God's word."
—Harold Starbuck, Evangelist, Director
of Kiamichi Mountains Christian Missions.
