Found

Who are you when the labels peel off? This book is for teenagers asking the biggest question of all — and for the parents walking beside them.

"Found" starts where your worth starts: before anyone had an opinion about you, God was already an artist — and you were the art. From Psalm 139:14 ("I am fearfully and wonderfully made") through Ephesians 1 (picked on purpose, adopted as His own), each of the twelve chapters takes down a lie teenagers live under: the labels people stick on you, the mirror lie, the performance trap, the shame that says you're too much or not enough.

This isn't pep-talk positivity. It's identity anchored in what God actually says — that you are known, chosen, made new, and sent. With honest chapters on shame, on forgetting, and on finding your people, plus a "Your Move" practice every week, readers learn to walk like it's true even on the days they don't feel it.

For teens: real talk, zero condescension, Scripture that holds. For parents: a book you can trust to tell your teenager the truth about who they are — wonderfully made, deeply known, and still being formed. Read it yourself first, then put it in their hands.
