You want to make your mark in this world
Whether a young adult or an older person, you want to achieve something worthwhile while you’re here. Do you have great plans? Are you facing a life-changing decision or a challenging obstacle. Perhaps some dark memory is weighing on your conscience.
Throughout the ages, people have struggled with such issues as these:
- How can I decide what is the right thing to do?
- Is there a purpose in life?
- How can I overcome temptations?
- Is there a God? If so, is He good and loving, or harsh and judgemental?
- I made a big mistake. I hurt someone badly. Is there still hope for me?
Vince Rockston writes dramatic stories set in distant times and places, in which young people come to grips with some of these timeless spiritual questions.
