As a wonderful user-friendly-bonus each chapter has application questions at the end. This will be an excellent opportunity for parents to engage their teens about the content.

Here are the application questions from chapter one:
- What’s your single biggest fear?
- An understanding of our great salvation is the perfect remedy for two common ailments. What are they? (Page 4)
- Have you ever blamed God when something went wrong?
- How do you handle anxiety and stress?
- Is there any area where Satan consistently accuses you?
- Glance back at the Super Bowl story on page 5. How does this affect your understanding of Romans 8:29-30?
- How did you respond to Question #4 on page 9?
- It’s too easy to keep theology locked up in our brains rather than letting it influence our behavior. What effect will this chapter have on your daily life?
In addition, there are book recommendations at the end of each chapter to further serve you as a discipler for Christ. Here are the recommendations from Chapter One:
