This manuscript is an exhortation to young people, parents, and youth leaders concerning various facets to rear up youth to serve God. Young people are encouraged to live as the "chosen generation" spoken of in Scripture. Parents are instructed in training their children to walk in the ways of God and live as productive human beings. Youth leaders are shown how to maximize their ministry among the young people of their church. When all three groups work together, the kingdom of God is advanced with the vitality and freshness that young people bring to any spiritual endeavor.
