Book excerpt: The Young Person's Guide to Personal Success and Happiness is a devotional book designed to equip young people with strong biblical values. Based on the book of Proverbs, it's a handy mentoring tool for parents and youth leaders to help teens and pre-teens make wise choices. Its 52 entries-one for each week of the year-consist of an opening illustration, a Scripture passage, three questions, an action item and suggested Bible passages for further reading. With an easy-to-follow format that facilitates open discussion, accountability and action in a 30- to 45-minute timeframe, TYPG deals with subjects relevant to teens such as: the value of mentoring, dealing with peer pressure, finding wisdom, sexual purity, compassion, courage, laziness and 46 other topics. This book will not only empower youth to deal with the pressures they face each day in a culture often hostile to their values, it will prepare them to maintain their faith when they leave home.
