Running from the Giants

Teenagers often face what seems like monumental challenges that Glenda Nelson refers to as “giants.” The good news is that they can be defeated, whether it’s trying to fit in at school, making friends, attaining good grades, or dealing with a bully.

In a guide specifically for teenagers, Nelson interweaves personal stories about her son’s obstacles with scripture to provide a comforting reminder that everyone, no matter their age, courageously faces problems and eventually finds a way to overcome them. Through biblical references and stories, she also offers guidance on how to develop a relationship with God by praying, memorizing scriptures, and increasing their faith to defeat the giants; boost confidence and self-esteem; and walk closer with God, now and always.

Running from the Giants shares wisdom and scripture that inspires teenagers to persevere through their challenges, rely on God’s word for strength, and remember that the Lord Jesus is always with them.
