A Journey: Growing in Character Together

by Dr Phil Cummins

Overview

In this profound coming-of-age tale, a boy and an enigmatic older mentor embark on a mysterious journey that will test the limits of trust, wisdom and self-discovery. Through their philosophical dialogues about belonging, purpose and what it means to find one's place in the world, readers are invited to explore life's essential questions.

Written with teenage boys in mind, this thoughtful adventure weaves together the practical challenges of a physical journey with deeper reflections on what it means to grow into manhood, balancing wonder and work, fun and responsibility, in a story that speaks directly to young minds on the cusp of their own life journeys.
