You may be interested in receiving information on a new book. It’s called My Life, Unscripted!

Using the metaphor of screenwriting, My Life, Unscripted explores relationships in every teenage girl’s life-with herself, her friends and enemies, her parents, guys, and with God.

Real-life scripts, screenwriting terms, and timely topics, make this an interesting read for teen girls as they delve into their own inner struggles and outward relationships. They’ll also learn the importance of "scripting" their own responses BEFORE challenging life-situations arise so they are able to think about, pray about, and consider how to face these situations before the scene begins. By contrasting real-life with TV or movies, teens will understand they don’t have to get caught up in the drama.

This fall we’re offering The Script It campaign to churches, youth groups, and anyone who works with teen girls!

If you’re looking for something fresh and RELEVANT for girls age 14 and up, then look no further!

Some of the topics Tricia tackles in My Life, Unscripted include:

• Dialogue (the way you talk to yourself)
• Hero’s Journey (popularity: getting it, keeping it–for real)
• Decision (preparing for peer pressure)
• The Hottie (need someoe to play the boyfriend role?)
• Admission (what does beauty cost)
• The Worst Horror Movie Ever (facing your fears)

…and more! Read a sample chapter here!

Tricia has gone beyond surface solutions to the pressures of junior high and high school and tackles the heart. As someone who was a teen mom and made ALL the wrong decisions during her school years, Tricia offers biblical advice and wisdom gleaned through experience.

Read what a youth pastor from Seabeck, Washington had to say about the book: "the best reward for me was the impact the book and writing the script made on Anjulie.  It’s as if God opened a door of understanding to her.  It was also an answer to prayer for this old youth pastor.  Well done, Tricia!"

If you sign up for the Script It campaign, you’ll receive 2 copies of the book, postcards, information about the contests to share with your group, AND you’ll be entered in to a chance to win a CHAT WITH THE AUTHOR for your group!
