Publisher's Synopsis
-Do you have a child (specifically a young male) who is struggling with who they are (identity)? -Are they overly consumed with trying to "fit in" with the crowd? -Are the easily influenced by others and are quick to follow even when it is in a wrong or negative direction? -Do they lack motivation and direction about what they want to do with their life?(purpose) -Do they seem indifferent about a lot of things and exude an "I don't care attitude"? -Do they come across as angry and aggressive sometimes for no apparent reason? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you maybe dealing with a youth our young adult struggling with an identity issue. I should know because I was once (in some regards) the person I described above. These struggles of identity and purpose are particularly relevant in the lives of young boys and men. If you are the parent, relative teacher, professor, or youth group leader of the boy I described above, and are not sure what else to do to help them, I have the answer you have been searching for. In my book, Will Somebody PLEASE Tell Me Who I AM?: A Search for Our True Identity, I speak candidly about the struggle that many youth inevitably go through to discover who they are (identity) and what they are suppose to do with their life (purpose). You see, root of the issue has nothing to do with their behavior, but rather their identity. If you can get a person to change how they see themselves, their behaviors will follow suit. In the book, I tell the story of my persona struggle with identity and how developing my own personal relationship with God helped to totally revolutionize my life and how it can do the same for the youth in your life. You will discover: 1) What factors influence why youth act the way they do. 2) How thing like words, friends, movies, and television impacts how youth think and act? 3) The vital role spirituality places in helping youth discover their true identity and purpose in life. If you are at the end of your rope and don't know what else to do, purchase a copy of this book for that young person, say a quick prayer, and leave the rest up to God. I also especially recommend this book for any young adult male you know who may be incarcerated. I promise they will thank you for it.
