The perfect book for Catholics in their 20s and 30s navigating the challenges of first jobs, new responsibilities, meaningful relationships, Catholic identity, and the desire to make a contribution to society. Help yourself or a young adult in your life look at life from a fresh faith perspective and gain some practical insights.

This is a compact book, formatted in small chunks, and an overall quick read: a book that young adults will really read. In fact, they will have a hard time putting it down, and may read it in one sitting.

The father of two children in their 20s, Patrick Reardon draws from personal experience to help Catholics in this stage of life. "Being an adult can be scary," Reardon writes, "but if you are fully aware and fully present to your own life, even the painful experiences will lead you to a richer existence."
