None by KCPW

(KCPW News) Religion and faith can be especially daunting topics for teenagers in Utah who don't belong to the dominant LDS faith. The Salt Lake Theological Seminary has just released a special DVD program to help those youth. It's called "Grounded: Relating To Your Mormon Friends In Truth And Love."

The Salt Lake Theological Seminary's new DVD program for youth ministries is called "Grounded: Relating to Your Mormon Friends in Truth and Love."

More information about the Salt Lake Theological Seminary is online at www.SLTS.edu.

some of the websites are prviding free information for troubled teens parents. Parents can find different christian boarding schools from these type of websites. Troubled teens families are very careful in deciding schools for their teenagers. So, this must be taken into account.

Great help for troubled teens parents. This blog is really interesting and gives lot of useful information to parents and families in trouble. Troubled teens needs more support and any normal kid. So, parents must keep this in mind to handle the situation.

I know the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day saints is true, I know Gordon B. Hinkley was a true prophet of god, and that Thomas S. Monson is the presiding prophet today, I know that Joseph Smith was also a true prophet, and translated The Book of Mormon, And that it is true. I also know that if I live the plan of salvation I will live with my heavenly father and be like him. I say all these thing ever so humbley. Amen.
