<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"Kara Powell and the team at Fuller Youth Institute equip adults to help the teenagers in their lives find faithful answers to their three big questions of identity, belonging, and purpose"--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Today's teenagers are the most anxious, creative, and diverse generation in history--which can make it hard for us to relate. And while every teenager is a walking bundle of questions, three rise above the rest: <br/><br/>- Who am I?<br/>- Where do I fit?<br/>- What difference can I make?<br/><br/>Young people struggle to find satisfying and life-giving answers to these questions on their own. They need caring adults willing to lean in with empathy, practice listening, and gently point them in the direction of better answers: they are enough because of Jesus, they belong with God's people, and they are invited into God's greater story.<br/><br/>In this book, which is based on new landmark research from the Fuller Youth Institute and combines in-depth interviews with data from 1,200 diverse teenagers, Kara Powell and Brad M. Griffin offer pastors, youth leaders, mentors, and parents practical and proven conversations and connections that help teenagers answer their three biggest questions and reach their full potential.<p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br><b>Help teenagers unlock their potential and discover essential faith<br/></b><br/>"Kara Powell and Brad Griffin cut through so much of the guesswork and misguided conversations that have made it so much harder to connect with today's teens.

If you love and care about teenagers, read this book."--<b>Christine Caine</b>, founder of A21 and Propel Women<br/><br/>"This work by Kara Powell and Brad Griffin offers a valuable resource that engages the full story of the gospel message to speak to the specific context of the teenager. I am grateful for this resource that will effectively serve the church."--<b>Soong-Chan Rah</b>, Robert Munger Professor of Evangelism at Fuller Theological Seminary and author of <i>The Next Evangelicalism</i> and <i>Prophetic Lament<br/></i><br/>"Kara Powell and Brad Griffin deftly unpack the unique dilemmas young people are facing in a time and culture of rapid change and upheaval.
