by Justin Morton (Author)

"You have been grieved by various trials, so that the tested genuineness of your faith ... may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ." (1 Peter 1:6-7 ESV) Developing your faith as a teen is challenging. When you're feeling rejected at school or tempted to cheat on a test, what do you do? Where do you turn when none of your friends will listen to you or when others are against you? Justin Morton answers these questions and more in Against All Odds. In this 13-chapter study of characters from the Bible, Morton reveals how these people dealt with life when they were struggling with similar situations young people face today. This book, with corresponding discussion questions and journal prompts, will help teens develop an unshakeable faith, even against all odds.
