If you've ever been to Especially for Youth or Academy for Girls or Boys' World of Adventure, you know about the special feeling there. New friends, great counselors, interesting classes, and super socials and activities all contribute to the fun.
But there's something else. What really makes these programs so special is the Spirit. And in this book, twenty-one of your favorite speakers write about the topics that invite the Holy Ghost into your life.
The thing is, though, none of the authors are boring or preachy. Each of them remembers what it's like to be young: full of life and full of questions. They know how to communicate with youth, and each has an interesting way of getting his or her message across.
There is good advice about how to be a better friend, how to get more out of going to church, and how to survive the challenges of being a teenager. You can also read about patriarchal blessings, repentance, getting ready for missions, and learning to enjoy life more.
The authors have already been up the trail a ways, and they've come back to help you out. They'll tell you you're in for a great adventure and that there really is "Joy in the Journey."
