A Young Man After God's Own Heart: A Teen's Guide to a Life of Extreme Adventure

by Jim George

Overview

Pursuing God really is an adventure—one that can get extreme, one you'll never tire of.

Becoming a young man after God's own heart is a lot like climbing a mountain. You'll find all sorts of challenges on the way up, but the awesome view at the top is well worth the trip.

Real success in life—the kind that counts with God—starts by discovering God's priorities for you. These include...

• building your faith
• choosing the right kinds of friends
• getting along at home
• winning the battle over temptation
• making right choices about the future

Once you get started on this journey, you'll never be the same!

Includes new and revised content.
