In their book ‘You were made to make a difference’ Max Lucado and his daughter Jenna Lucado Bishop really challenges and encourages teenagers to go out and make a difference in this world. With the benefit of aged wisdom from Lucado and youthly enthusiasm from Lucado Bishop, this book really provides a holistic outlook and solid advice for how teenagers actually can change this world for the better.
In recent times many leaders within youth ministry have started to challenge the idea that we should encourage teenagers to dream big dreams. They seem to believe that by doing so, we are setting teenagers up to fail. Lucado and Lucado Bishop take a very different approach and suggest every single person was made to make a difference, they just have to discover what that difference is. With a heap of real life stories and recollections from their past and present, they present a compelling argument for taking another step forward in motivating teenagers, rather than taking a step back. I enjoyed this book and found it so helpful I went out and bought a copy for each of my graduating teenager youth members. Thoroughly recommend it.
