      About the Author

      Dedication

      I dedicate this book to the Holy Spirit who inspired me and guided me in writing this study with teenagers in mind.

      Introduction

      What a complex world we live in. So many places giving me different thoughts on what is right and what is wrong. So how can I know what IS right and what IS wrong?

      Daily I hear all kinds of things that I can do, or eat, or drink that will make me happy? But none of them brings me any lasting happiness! So how can I find true joy in my life?

      I hear so much bad and negative things and so little good. How can I keep from getting depressed?

      The world seems to keep beating me down. I feel absolutely worthless. What can I do about this feeling, my self-doubt, and how can I turn it around and build confidence in my life?

      There seems to be no hope in this world. Where can I find hope for my life?

      In this book, the author is dealing with all these feelings: confusion, doubt, anger, feelings of unworthiness, self-doubt, depression. And you will find the answer for all these! I guarantee it.

      You will find that I have divided the book into two main parts. In the first part you will learn who the Holy Spirit is. In the second
