Summary
It doesn't matter who you are or what you've done—God wants a relationship with you。
Social media， television， video games， drugs， pornography – there is so much noise distracting us from what is important in life that it is nearly impossible to hear God’s truth that He will take you as you are。 When we finally kill the noise of the world， we’ll discover in the silence a loving Savior who is waiting to forgive us and offer us a purpose for our lives。
Ryan Ries is living proof of this truth。 Growing up in Los Angeles as the son of a mega-church pastor but surrounded by the music， skate， and snowboard industries， Ryan felt a tug-of-war between the church and the world。 It was in the skate and music culture that he found his passion and his identity。 As a result， he walked away from God and dove head first into the world， losing his way in alcohol， drugs， and sex， which led to anxiety， brokenness， and emptiness。
Kill the Noise tells Ryan’s story about finding God in the messiness of life， and lets you know how you too can find peace， joy， and purpose in Jesus Christ。 This book will be a tool to help you kill the noise of the world so you can hear God’s voice telling you that He loves you and that you belong to Him。

This book will be a good read and guide for newer Christians and teens。 The writer tells how he lived a life of partying and drugs as part of a Skateboard company that promoted concerts。 Through his journey he becomes a Christian and writes about his public speaking and radio shows， along with some things he learned in his walk。 The teens will like his wording， where he uses things like the disciples were "chillin" and slang words that teens would like。 There is a good chapter using fishing as a This book will be a good read and guide for newer Christians and teens。 The writer tells how he lived a life of partying and drugs as part of a Skateboard company that promoted concerts。 Through his journey he becomes a Christian and writes about his public speaking and radio shows， along with some things he learned in his walk。 The teens will like his wording， where he uses things like the disciples were "chillin" and slang words that teens would like。 There is a good chapter using fishing as an example to explain how Satan uses "lures" to get Christians to "bite"。 This would be a nice graduation gift for teens and younger Christians as well。 For an in depth review， visit my blog at : https://lancewrites。wordpress。com/202。。。 。。。more

This is quite a prodigal son story。 Although the son of a Calvary Chapel pastor， Ries went into a life of partying， music， drugs and sex。 He shares many of his experiences and then how he finally got saved as an adult。 He writes that his parents were aware of his lifestyle and tried to get him help but he refused。 I found it interesting he either ignored childhood Christian influence or was not given any as he later in life did not know where Romans was in the Bible nor who Habakkuk was。 （71） Th This is quite a prodigal son story。 Although the son of a Calvary Chapel pastor， Ries went into a life of partying， music， drugs and sex。 He shares many of his experiences and then how he finally got saved as an adult。 He writes that his parents were aware of his lifestyle and tried to get him help but he refused。 I found it interesting he either ignored childhood Christian influence or was not given any as he later in life did not know where Romans was in the Bible nor who Habakkuk was。 （71） This combination memoir and life lessons book would appeal to young people， people who speak about dudes and cribs and say a friend is dope。 This book is for people who don't look like nor worship like traditional Christians and would appreciate Ries writing about Jesus kicking butt。Unfortunately， Ries says he has no answers as to how he got so far off the rails。 （119） So those who hoped to find some parenting advice in this book will be disappointed。There is good teaching in the book but some of it might be a bit confusing。 Ries writes， “One of the things you learn by reading the Bible is how easy it actually is to not do the wrong stuff。” （77） Then he goes on to tell us how hard it actually is to not do the wrong stuff。 He writes about having to get strong， how he had to build resolve as he was in a daily spiritual battle。 （102， 112） He encourages us to not think stopping sinful behavior is easy。 （102） “Living for Christ is a battle，” he writes。 （114）This is a book for young people who think God could not possibly love them or want them。 Ries' story of bad behavior and return to faith is a good example of God loving the prodigal back to a relationship with Him。 God will not kick you to the curb if you mess up， Ries says。 “Whenever you turn back to God， He will be there waiting for you with open arms of forgiveness and acceptance。” （35） I received a complimentary copy of this book from the publisher。 My comments are an independent and honest review。 。。。more
