Peter Kreeft uses Scripture to provide God s profound answers to the most common and important questions young people ask about the deeper meaning of life, their own identities, overcoming failure and temptation, the mystery of God s love, and much more. But these are questions asked not just by the young they are the same questions adults often ask, and God s answers, as found in the Bible, respond to the deepest needs of people of all ages. 2 WELCOME TO ST.
