Let no man despise thy youth: but be thou an example of the faithful in word, in conversation, in charity, in faith, in chastity.”—I Timothy 4:12

 
You are a central part of God’s plan to convert the world and this book will help you realize how crucial the Catholic Faith is for your future.
 
To accomplish your mission as faithful Catholics and to have a rich, fruitful, and worthwhile life, here and in eternity, you must prepare your soul. You need to thoroughly understand the goal you wish to attain, and consider the difficulties you will encounter, both mentally and physically, and accept them. The world will tell you that comfort is the highest goal and that only fools deny themselves. This is the battle between those who wish to live according to eternity versus those who live simply for today. 
 
Your future will be exhilarating because it is your mission to rebuild a Christian society. The generations before you fought to preserve the Faith and Catholic Tradition and to pass them on to you. Now it falls to you to continue this noble fight and to spread the reign of Our Lord around you. What could be more inspiring than working for the greatest good there is: the good of souls and societies?
 
Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you from failing hands we throw
 The torch; be yours to hold it high. —Flanders Fields by John McCrae

An excellent read!

This small little manual provides adolescents with a succinct yet accurate guide to the spiritual life. Covering a range of topics, the author provides a clear path that every adolescent should take in this modern world where masculinity and femininity are so degraded. The author invites the reader to follow the straight and narrow path, where true happiness lies, guiding them with clear and logical advice.
A great read!!

Excellent!

This is a truly excellent book for young people. Firstly, it is brief, which is essential for young people today. It gets straight to the point, but is very inspiring as well. It has very solid advice that is trustworthy and prudent. I appreciate the section on vocational discernment, as well as the encouragement for young people to carry on the torch of Christendom that has been passed on to them. We often underestimate our young people. They really desire to learn and they truly do seek the Truth. Books like this help nourish their spirits!

Good start but not enough practical advice

This book is very short. It offers very important points for young adults to consider, but the points are broad and don't offer enough specific advice or practical steps for one to consider. I think the book would be best used as a conversation starter or a stepping-off point for young men and women who are looking for some guidance, but nothing more than that.
