As a kid, he was thrilled by the idea that every moment of every day might be his last one on Earth. But as Aaron turns sixteen, he finds himself more attached to his earthly life and curious about all the things his family forsakes for the Lord. He begins to realize he doesn't want the Rapture to happen just yet -- not before he sees his first movie, stars in the school play, or has his first kiss. Eventually Aaron makes the plunge from conflicted do-gooder to full-fledged teen rebel. Whether he's sneaking out, making out, or playing hymns with a hangover, Aaron learns a few lessons that can't be found in the Bible. He discovers that the best friends aren't always the ones your mom and dad approve of, the girl of your dreams can just as easily be the boy of your dreams, and the tricky part about believing is that no one can do it for you. In this coming-of-age memoir, Hartzler recalls his teenage journey to become the person he wanted to be, without hurting the family that loved him. 600 10 $a Hartzler, Aaron. 650 0 $a Christian biography $z United States. 650 0 $a Teenagers $x Religious life. 650 0 $a High school students $x Religious life. 941 $a 7 952 $l DFPC353 $d 20240430015914.0 952 $l GLAX641 $d 20231201010541.0 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210722045123.0 952 $l DJPD353 $d 20180717022746.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20180106055427.0 952 $l VTPD454 $d 20160406025102.0 952 $l FJPC224 $d 20150409042501.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=E423AE12F1F611E3AE4543ECDAD10320 994 $a C0 $b JIMInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
