Indeed, It's Wonderful To Be Young. Thirteen well and lesser known young people, men and women, some of them still under age kids from Old and New Testament times model for us some amazing qualities. Some traits like courage, adaptability, learning abilities are to be expected, but others are more surprising, such as curiosity, holy stubbornness, winning the favor of everybody. Each character profile is presented starting with the biblical source text, general observations, personal application for us, meaning for today's youth and a final conclusion. Many personal experiences and stories, taken from history or the author's context in Nigeria, make these studies even more valuable and interesting to read.
