It focuses on living that is abundant and eternal. It explores the rapid changes that are occurring in our culture and offers answers for many of life's questions facing today's youth and young adults. The author points out that we often live in different worlds that foster conflict and dysfunction in our society. He proposes remedies though his version of the 'œABCs of Life' and 'œWill and Testimony' which are instructive for facing important life-decisions.
