Pastor Rogahn discusses timeless topics with a troubled teen as she arranges and rearranges the books in his library. With compassion and a sense of humor, he points the author to the ultimate solution to her questions and concerns—Jesus Christ. These conversations are great talking points for parents and teens, for youth groups and Sunday school classes, or for a teen’s personal devotions.

“This book is a touching and inspirational record of the interactions between a troubled young girl and the kindhearted pastor who showed her God’s love and compassion. My wife and I were moved by Taylor’s story.”

—Bill Banks, Author of Shame Free

“In this delightful read, you get glimpses of the writer’s growing faith as she learns of God’s love and God’s ways while reorganizing the books in her pastor’s library.”

—Rev. Gary Dehnke, St. John’s Lutheran Church, St. Louis, MO

“This series of true conversations between an adolescent girl and her pastor reveals the love God has for you. Read it and believe it!”

—Rev. Brad Beckman, Grace Lutheran Church, Arlington, TX

“You will feel as though you are in the room tending books for Pastor Rogahn, and you will wonder if he knew he was grooming this young woman to become the author who would pass his wisdom and theological revelations to you.”

—Rev. Micky Roettgen, Prince of Peace UPC, St. Louis, MO
