Publisher's Description
Can God really use a teen for His Kingdom? You Were Made to Make a Difference shows how every teen has the power to effect change in their community and the world through small steps of faithfulness and acts of service. Adapted from the encouraging devotional for adults, Outlive Your Life, this much-needed book for teens explores how faith and community interact, how youth can be a part of social activism through their faith, and how God made each of us to be a light in the world. Featuring practical tips to make a significant change in one’s community along with real-life stories from those who have already done just that, You Were Made to Make a Difference shows how tweens and teens can deepen their faith and see how God can use them. Max Lucado and Jenna Lucado Bishop crafted this devotional for tweens and teens and offer facts about the world in need and how a little service or volunteering goes a long way; encouragement that God has a plan for you and can use you where you are; graphics about what makes each of us uniquely individual and wonderfully human; and interactive elements such as journaling prompts, reflection questions, and space to write service goals for your community. Give your child the gift of knowing who they are in God and how to start an outreach project in their neighborhood. This teen devotional is perfect for families who want their children to feel secure in their faith; a present to commemorate a decision of faith, baptism, or confirmation; and a gift for an Easter basket, Christmas present, or other religious holiday. Teens will learn that their role in life is bigger than themselves, and that they’re not too young to make a difference for God.
