Synopsis

More than ever, young disciples want relationships with their parents and other adults; Owning Faith helps older disciples understand how to honor and nurture relationships that last a lifetime.

Today's adolescents face an uphill climb as they seek to own their faith. And while it's easy to think that what they really need is an expert, ''Owning Faith'' lets you in on God's big secret: what they need more than anything else is you.

Owning Faith is an accessible guide into the adventure-filled spiritual journey of adolescents. If you would like to learn how to be a wise and compassionate companion that can make an eternal difference in the lives of youth, Owning Faith will show you how.
