About the book: Life is tough, but so are you! Learn how to work through life’s trials with advice from popular youth speakers, including Hank Smith and Al Carraway, who have endured a few challenges of their own. This encouraging book will help you see trials as essential stepping-stones to becoming who you’re destined to be.

My review: This book is amazing! I loved each one of the chapters in this book. It's written for teenagers, so it's really a quick read, I read the whole thing in less than an afternoon, but it's packed with great advice and spiritual lessons that teens need in this crazy world!

This book is broken up into chapters by author. I loved each and every one of the authors and was amazed by the challenges that some of them have gone through. And the lessons they have learned are something that we can all learn from. I loved that directly after Whitney Wilcox Laycock's chapter there's one written by her dad, Brad Wilcox, that gives a little more definition to her chapter.

This is a great book to have your teen read, but I can tell you right now that adults can learn from it as well, and that's a great thing!

I was sent a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
