To Save A Life.

The book I finished reading recently, is called "To Save A Life." This book changed my view about life a lot and how people should really live their lives everyday. This book has many moments that relate to me kind of by how Jake the main character decides to look into his faith after his childhood bestfriend, Roger commits suicide. I never had a friend commit suicide but I have tried using my faith to help a friend, or to try and help persuade them that if they are having problems they should try going to God, or church or maybe just by praying. About a year ago my mom and dad went to this church thing in Bloomington, and they left on a Thursday and were gone for the entire weekend, without phones, or any form of technology. When they came home it was like they were two whole different people, they go to church every week religiously, and they try and live their life for God, I guess is a more simple form to put it. And at first I was just kind of annoyed and didnt think that I liked them this way, but now a year and a half later I really am proud of both of them for how they live their life now, and even though I may not be ready for that, I am really glad they are happy with their lives now, and how they try and encourage other people to be more like that. Many teens today dont understand how much of an impact God can have one someone, and that wether or not they believe or whether or not they go to church even praying or just doing the right thing can help out. This book really made me understand the importance of sticking up for people even if your friends are the ones bullying, just being the bigger person and sticking up for someone can maybe literally "save a life." This book will leave you touched at least it did for me, and hopefully for some it will want you to make a difference in your life, and others too.
