This Girl Named Amber: Seeking Heart Teen Series, Book One

With her sixteenth birthday just three weeks away, Amber Wilson is looking forward to spending one of the last weeks of the summer at Camp Laughing Water, a place she's been to many times before. But from the beginning she has the feeling the week will be anything but ordinary.

For one thing, her friend Stacey is coming for the first time, and while she's excited to have her longtime friend along, she wonders if this can be a chance for them to recapture the carefree friendship they once shared, or if spending seven days straight together will drive them further apart. Will Stacey enjoy the week and open her heart to God as Amber has been praying for, or will her efforts to show Stacey she cares turn into a complete disaster?

In the midst of trying to be a good friend, dealing with some unpleasant girls in her cabin, and doing her best to get something spiritual out of the week for herself, Amber faces many unexpected moments, including some encounters with a cute guy. Some make her laugh, some make her cry, and some leave her feeling completely dazed. Will she end the week with heartbreak or with a smile on her face and hope in her heart?

"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord. "Plans to prosper you and not to harm you. Plans to give you hope and a future...You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart." (Jeremiah 29:11 & 13)

*This Girl Named Amber is the first book in the Seeking Heart series and is recommended for ages 13 and up. Books in this series are meant to be read in sequential order. There are twelve books in the series, as follows: This Girl Named Amber, Nothing But Blue Skies, Raining Down On Me, Hope Wishes And Dreams, What This Girl Wants, To The High Places, You Matter To Me, A Dance To Remember, By Grace I Stand, He Makes Me Smile, What Our God Wants, and Do You Love Me.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

My name is Melanie Wilber, and I have always enjoyed writing. At the age of twenty-two, I decided to turn a childhood dream into reality by writing my first novel. Since then I have written more than 70 books for girls and women, including the "Heaven in my Heart" and "True Friendship" series for pre and early teens; the "Seeking Heart", "Pure in Heart", and "Abundant Life" series for teens and college-age readers; the "Garden of Love" and "Moments In Paradise" series for older teens and women; and several devotional books, independent novels, and a children's chapter book.

My greatest desire is to know my God and make Him known. I believe in His unconditional love, and my mission is to help my readers embrace it for themselves. Some of my favorite Bible verses are Psalm 25:4-5, "Show me the path where I should walk, O LORD; point out the right road for me to follow. Lead me by your truth and teach me, for you are the God who saves me. All day long I put my hope in you." (NLT)

Great book with a deeper message

Reviewed in the United States on August 11, 2013

Verified Purchase

I found this book while downloading kindle books for my young teens. I was looking for a good read with a deeper message, reflecting the values that we believe in, but that will be real at he same time. I just finished reading the book and am impressed! I stared to read the book to see what it's all about (there is just so much junk out there!) and read through the book in one sitting. Even though I'm way past my own teen years, the author managed to draw me into the book with believable characters and situations that anyone can identify with. I would definitely recommend this book and am looking forward to download more from the same author.

Good story for teens

Reviewed in the United States on August 9, 2013

Verified Purchase

I read this book in hopes that I would find something with a good godly message for my daughter. She likes reading stories more than devotionals and most of the books out there for teens do not help them to make the right choices and encourage them in their walk with God. I can't wait to see how she likes it and look over some more books in this series for her to read.

I love summer camp and have read many, many books set at camp. This one was great! It had all the fun of summer camp and a great message as well about being an example for and the power of praying for friends who are non-believers. It was a fun, light-hearted read.
