I want this book to be directed to the everyday Jane's (or John's). I want to target irresponsible 18-25 year olds with dirty pasts, dysfunctional families, and secret lives. I want to reach good people who make bad choices. I want people who long for spiritual well being, but equally enjoy living in the flesh. I want people who know better and don't care--people with a million questions mixed with some who think they have all the answers. I want to reach the unreachable. I want people who jump into the pit willingly. I want to help the helpless. I want to reach the person who runs from reality.
If you struggle with psycho tendencies, depression, loneliness, emptiness, numbness, laziness, disappointment, denial or all of the above, I want to be the one to understand--the one you can relate with. I want to reach people without a plan--people who are scared to death of what the future holds.
But most importantly, I want to write the book as an imperfect Christian without all the answers. My goal is to encourage, undestand and motivate the reader to grasp their potential, embrace their flaws and make it through this one-shot life in relatively one piece.
