A real life application of what God actually wants you to give him. God actually reveals this in his word, but this book brings it out in modern day english in a way that is easy to understand, and with examples of the authors own personal experiences. This is not only for the young, this is for the mature Christian also....a must read to learn and grow spiritually. I am so glad I took my time and read this book, being a Christian of many years it brought out things I had never considered with my relationship with God. The epilogue has a special section for cancer patients, and perhaps they can relate to the author's personal diary he shares while going through chemotherapy, radiation treatments, and surgery. It was helpful/funny to read about his experience, and thoughts while he battled cancer during treatments.
