Trustworthy answers to the most fundamental questions about life and identity for teens and young adults. Edited by Andrew Wilson.

Being human can feel surprisingly difficult. How do we decide how to live and what to prioritise? What’s the point of life supposed to be? Every young person develops answers to these questions, maybe without even realising it. Their conclusions impact their whole life. Finding trustworthy answers matters!

• If God loves everyone, what’s special about me?
• Is God against sex?
• If the world is just a bad place full of bad people, what’s the point of trying to do good?
• Why should I listen to Jesus?
