One of the best books I have ever read! It just touches every aspect of life that I, as a born and raised Christian, could learn to become better from. With every chapter a different aspect of Christian life (in real life situations and with normal experiences) is being explored, along with difficulties and practical advices.
I recommend this book to fellow Christians, doubting or strongly faithful; it will not disappoint you! I also recommend it to anyone who is sincerely interested in Christian lifestyle / faith. The book is written in everyday comprehensible language (no 'thou's and 'thy's ;)), specifically focused on adolescent youth (and slightly older).
