The youth of America has the energy and enthusiasm necessary to change the world. They only need a mission and a vision worth fighting for. With that in mind, know that this devotional does not add any water to the Gospel. Instead, it boldly challenges teens to strive after the standards, requirements, and expectations of God's Word. In these pages, total surrender is taught, not agreeable assent. Christ-likeness is the call, not fitting in. This book points youth to a holy God that wants to guide their lives, not tag along with what they are doing. It urges the coming generation to grab hold of a vision to follow Christ, not culture; to seek after holiness, not Hollywood stars, and to desire heavenly things, not worldly ones. That is the purpose of this book. If you are ready to let God change our youth so they can change the world, then let’s get started! Some teen devotionals use hardly any Scripture at all or tout building faith in just five minutes a day. That is NOT this devotional. Using Mark Musser's tried and tested S-C-R-I-P-T method, each devotional has six sections. Every day begins with START HERE where teens will read a humorous or interesting intro. What follows is the CONSIDER section which will provide a brief overview of the biblical chapter focused on for the day. After that comes READ, where that day's chapter is studied. Once the chapter has been read through, youth will head to the INVEST portion which usually contains five to seven questions to get them thinking about what was read and how it affects daily life. Next comes PRAY. In this area, suggestions are offered on what should be prayed about that particular day. Finally, TRAINING offers practical steps to take during the day to help apply the Word to life. -- 90 Total Devotions -- All 13 letters from Paul -- Great for youth ministries -- Awesome for families with teens (and pre-teens) -- Transformational gift for high school graduates -- Can even be used for weekly teen Bible studies
