I wrote this book because young adults are often sent into adult life with sincere prayers but without a practical plan for carrying faith into new freedom. Parents can teach, model, encourage, and intercede, but eventually a son or daughter has to decide how to pray, read Scripture, choose community, face questions, and make decisions when no one is supervising.

Enter the conversation behind the book.
The conversation opens after the familiar voices have grown quieter. A young adult is making decisions without a parent, pastor, or community watching every step, and the faith once carried by the household must now be examined, practiced, and chosen personally.
