Synopsis
At an early age we learn to emphasize our strengths and to hide our "character-building" experiences. Not so for contributors to this book. In Character for Tomorrow, we hear the voices of young men (ages 15 - 25) as they confront challenging times, define their core values and shape their futures by (i) fitting in, yet staying true to themselves, (ii) dealing with reality: "Ultimately, I knew I would be happy being Goose rather than Maverick," (iii) handling rejection, a family break-up or even death or incarceration of a parent, (iv) embracing risk, responsibility, mentors, parents and self-esteem with "one surge of effort at a time," (v) getting in touch with emotions, learning to serve others or recognizing true love and (vi) finding a college major, a career, faith or a sense of purpose. Story contributors include class presidents, star athletes, valedictorians, aspiring artists, dedicated volunteers, young men of strong faith and all-around great guys.

About the Author
James Warne is a seventeen-year-old high school student and founder of Camelback Press, LLC. In the summer before his junior year, James contacted a select group of recent graduates and current students of his high school, and persuaded them to submit their personal stories for publication. This collection of inspiring stories is the result of his effort. The mission of Camelback Press is to publish a series of unique anthologies -- inspirational to all ages -- about the character and values of today's youth. James' message is that character in tomorrow's leaders is abundant and contagious. "By exposure to their examples, we naturally summon our own courage to rise up to our challenges and dreams."

hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Most of our very good books have only minor imperfections such as shelf wear consistent with a new book that's sat on a bookshop shelf for a year or two. Occasionally we may miss other minor imperfections as we have to grade books at speed. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
