What's a "Short & Savvy Guide?"
An imprint of Key 3 Press, it’s a book written in a succint (but never boring) style to make you smarter. Think “Just the facts, Ma’am,” from the old Dragnet TV show. Only without the deep voice and somber face.
Reading is like dining out. Sometimes we want a place where we can linger over the menu, eat slowly, and take time deciding on dessert. Others times we opt for utensils-optional drive-throughs. This book is a blend of both. It’s rich content that will deeply nourish your relationships with adolescents, but delivered in as little packaging as needed, and served with a smile.
However, don’t equate short with shallow. This content is more like chewing on a cut of prime rib than nibbling a marshmallow. Read thoroughly or you may miss that one point that could make a major difference!
