Difference Maker: Overcoming Adversity and Turning Pain into Purpose, Every Day (Teen Edition) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781950382125)

Teens have been hit and wounded. Life hasn't turned out to be what they expected, wanted, or hoped for. No one seems to care. They feel alone and isolated.

Something is wrong. They can sense it. Their hearts say, "There's got to be more."

Yes, there is.

It's time to turn things around. It's time to expose the lies teens have been fed about themselves and help them embrace the truth.

What's the truth?

Teens are Difference Makers. And it's time to start living that way.

For more than 30 years, multiple award-winning author and speaker Gary Roe has been helping teens and adults heal from past wounds, discover who they are, and live with passion and purpose. With more than a dozen books and 600 articles in print, he has become a trusted, inspirational voice to thousands of wounded hearts.

"Life is about overcoming," Gary frequently says. Join him on the Difference Maker journey. You'll be glad you did.
