Books That Help Young People Build a Life That Lasts
True stories, practical lessons, history, and even humor that help young people discover their strengths, make better decisions, build character, and prepare for life. For years, I’ve used stories to reach young people in a way lectures often can't. Each of these books takes a different approach—character, personal growth, leadership, history, or humor—but they share one purpose: helping young people become stronger, more confident, and better prepared for the choices ahead.
