The teenage and youth years should be a time to enjoy life, but it is also a very crucial time when you have to decide the direction or path your life will take. The question is will the direction or path you choose ultimately lead you to a life of joy, happiness and peace; would it lead you to a productive and effective life? Or will it lead you into one of fear, pain, depression, unhappiness and a life of failure both now and in the future? This book will equip you to face the pressures of life and make the right choices. God has an awesome plan and purpose for every one of us. He has a great destiny for us to fulfil.
