Summary

In Real Life to the Extreme, Bruce and Stan explore questions that weigh heavily on the minds of young adults pertaining to the future: What, exactly, is God's plan for my life, and how detailed is that plan? Can I miss out on God's will if I make the wrong choice? How do I manage parental expectations -- what if I'm a disappointment to them? Should I stick close to home -- or venture farther out, either for school or work? Figuring out free will vs. God's plan can be confusing. This book will help readers keep balance.
