  • Location: The value of a forum such as this one is not in that one can post a question and receive an answer, but in that the question has most likely been asked before, and the answer is available to him that will but only use the search function.
  • Programs: 1. Search on google. 2. Search in the right board of DDF with a general word or two. 3. Read the wiki. 4. Read the thread. 5. Ask away.

I must be missing something. I read:

....a gift...15 year old boy....that would be enjoyed...

I took that to mean something your average teenager would actually enjoy, but that also may have a bit of meaning as well, not something that screams, "I wanna make you Orthodox."

The best I could think of was a CTeen getaway experience. But I really don’t know. Maybe it’s actually best to talk to a local CTeen chapter and ask for ideas.

Pretty much. At the same time, it's not exactly a secret that we live somewhat different lives, so I don't feel the need to significantly camouflage my interest in sharing my values and the meaning I find in life.

I ended up giving the book "Incredible!" Everyone I know who's read it has enjoyed it as a read, so hoping he does, too!
