There are no perfect Christians. If we’re honest with ourselves, we can admit that even as we try to follow Jesus, we screw up a lot. For a lot of students who become Christians, the personal struggles continue. Whether they use bad language or listen to questionable music, the issues they face make them feel like they just don’t fit into the Christian mold. And a lot of times, that mold isn’t all that appealing to them. They often feel like there isn’t a lot of room for questions and failures in the Christian faith. But those questions and failures are part of the process of learning to follow Jesus. This book asks students tough, honest questions without offering easy answers. It allows for students to explore who they are and who God is so they can live an authentic faith.
