Once my elder brother attended a
spiritual meeting and he was touched by the message delivered by the speaker.
So he came and told me about the speaker who is the author of this book. I also
heard her messages few times and was blessed. When we heard that she had
written a book we were so eager to read that.
Usually in her messages she quotes
incidents from her own life as examples. Even in this book she had shared many
of the incidents that had happened in her life, the struggles she faced and how
God spoke to her and led her personally.
As she is working among the young
people, she had very well understood the trials, temptations, thoughts and
troubles they face and she had wrote about those in detail. She knew young
people don’t like advices and but yet God led her beautifully to write one separate
chapter on correction and advices.
“Correction is needed in our lives.
God uses parents, elders, teachers and our friends to correct us. Such people
are placed by God to mold, shape and bring us to a place where God wants us to
be. When you heed, you will be a blessing for yourself and for others to bring
glory to your creator. Believe me! These people are placed by God. Their
corrections might be painful. But the truth is that they are important people
who would shape you into perfection.”(Page 217)
Starting from loneliness,
relationships, sins, and hurt, she had explained the effects of each and
everything in one’s life and the way it can be overcome. In most of the books I
had read no one has written about sleep. But personally God had already taught
me how important sleep is. I was surprised to see a separate chapter on sleep
in this book and it will be really helpful.
Everything she had written was supported
by in depth statistics that happened around the world. Though the statistics part
seems to be lengthy at times, I believe it will be useful for us to understand
the real effect of that particular problem.
When she quoted her own life
experiences she had never projected herself as holy person. She had openly written
about the insecurity she had once in her mind, her weakness and struggles which
many young people could easily relate to and get blessed.
One could understand her spiritual
experience as she had quoted several Bible verses at the apt places. Also her
experience in research and Chemistry was revealed in certain places where she
had provided some in depth analysis and chemical reactions that happen behind
certain hormones.
If you are entering into teen age, I
recommend that you should get this book and read it once which will be helpful
to you in all aspects. Parents and elder ones, you can read this book to
understand the trials and problems your children face and this book will be definitely
useful to counsel the younger ones.
