Hard as Nails: A Mission to Awaken Youth to the Power of God's Love
Justin Fatica, a dynamic twenty-nine-year-old, is spreading the Catholic faith with an intense, in-your-face approach that eclipses that of even the most passionate preachers of any denomination. The subject of a recent HBO documentary, Fatica is known for his electric presence in front of groups large and small, showing an emotional range from joy to anger, calmness to fervent pleas--all meant to inspire his audience to break free from whatever burdens they may have. In an era where Catholic-church attendance is waning, the success of Justin's exploding Hard as Nails ministries is a welcome, if sometimes controversial, means of reaching the spiritually hungry. Fatica offers a message of hope for all ages, and especially for the growing number of youth who feel displaced and lost. While some are just getting used to Justin Fatica's style, there is little doubt that this dynamic, charismatic preacher will continue to draw attention for his radical and passionate ways of spreading the gospel.

This book delivers an honest and powerful view of what is happening with teenagers in this country. Parents of all backgrounds must read this book to get a more honest understanding of the challenges facing their teens everyday. Look forward to a seminar for adults and parents to help relay this message.

It is inspiring to see & hear a young man encouraging our youth to not be just good but GREAT! Justin gives them a focus that is not all about themselves & the secular world. There is so much hopelessness in today's world, it is refreshing to hear someone who is full of hope, love & encouragement. Take notice our CATHOLIC Leaders, Justin is willing & able to connect with our young people. What a blessing that we should utilize to the fullest.

If you enjoy reading or hearing about people doing great things for others, this is the book for you! I had the pleasure to first hear about Justin Fatica when I came across his documentary on HBO. I was amazed that someone, especially a Catholic, ministered to the youth with such a passionate and "in your face" style. I thought it was amazing! Someone is finally out there that understands that you have to be loud and full of energy to be able to get today's teens attention, and that he did! Honestly, the first day I got the book I had to finish it because I just could not put it down. To hear about a journey with an even better ending and a great future ahead of it awesome. Hard as Nails ministry helps troubled teens and adults find guidance through Christ! Its amazing to hear about what kind of struggles people go through today, rape, cutting, abuse, loneliness, drugs....its a true eye opener. This book made me remember that, why should we sit there and complain and whine about petty things when there are people out there who face these problems, we should be grateful for the life we have and cherish it! All I'm saying is buy this book....its an amazing true story!
