“There is a great identity crisis among students today. Who am I? What is the purpose of life? Where did I come from? Where am I going?

They must believe in something to find fulfillment in their lives.”

“One of life’s mysteries is why two children growing up in the same home sometimes take radically different paths—one following Christ, the other rebellious and scornful. Yet it happens.”
