If you are a young person, how do you discover what you're good at and harness it to make a difference with your life as you grow up? The forty-one stories in BOY POWER: How Famous Men Chose to Answer God's Call When Young tells how Abe, Barry, Ben, Bill, Colin, David, Desmond, Dietrich, George, Henry, Isaac, James, Johann, Johannes, John, Joseph, Josiah, Leonardo, Louis, Luther, Martin, Moses, Neil, Nelson, Orville, Samuel, Thomas, Wernher, Wilbur, William, Winnie, and Wolfgang figured out what they were good at and faced difficulties and handicaps to do big things in their lives. You will learn about... a boy that nobody wanted who used the power of his brain to invent things; a boy who was at the right place and the right time and brave enough to save another's life; boys who were lifelong friends and who loved to explore; a boy who loved tinkering with mechanical things; boys who liked experimenting with growing things; boys who wanted to fly; a boy who mastered a bad temper and read lots of books; a boy whose dream was to take on injustice; a boy who was willing to help others who were bullied; a sickly boy who found out what he was worth to God. Who knows what you will be able to do when you have faith in yourself and let God use you!
