This book is geared towards twenty something’s- that really have no where to turn for a roadmap towards success. At least no where to turn when it comes to an author less then fifty addressing their needs. This is truly original, in that it is two young people explaining how to get more from life, and how to do it at a young age. The best part of the book is they lay out their own examples and conflicts to demonstrate their points. The obstacles they have faced will ring true such as leaving home, taking risks, financial strains etc. The book is actually applicable for anyone seeking growth.
The reader will learn to say no under extreme pressure, forsaking the comforts of a regular job to risk being more, even facing criticism from life long friends when the pursuit of their dreams meant less time for others.
Perhaps the greatest lesson is that one learns the concept of God’s will, and that it is not a free pass to be lazy while waiting for his will to be done. The book reads fast and the advice will have the reader taking notes. It truly can change lives for the better.
