New Book from Ed Welch!

What Do You Think of Me? Why Do I Care?: Answers to the Big Questions of Life

In his latest release, author Edward T. Welch offers a way of escape for young adults held captive by the opinions of others.

In an increasingly unstable culture, being obsessed with what others think is an escalating struggle among teens and young adults, leading to more serious consequences than ever before. Although everyone—whether they are sixteen or sixty—works hard to win someone’s approval or ward off someone’s rejection, these issues plague teenagers and young adults with particular intensity. How teens and young adults answer the big questions of their lives now will affect the direction of their adult lives, for better or worse. In his new book, What Do You Think of Me? Why Do I Care?: Answers to the Big Questions of Life (New Growth Press, October 2011), Edward T. Welch extends hope to those weary of hiding behind a mask of performance in order to gain love and acceptance. "I want to draw people to the path of becoming truly human, where you are controlled by God more than other people and where you love others more than you need them to love you," says Welch. "The result? Genuine loving friendship and the ability to make a lasting impact on the world around us. It is a hard process, but it is wonderful and the results are worth it."

What Do You Think of Me? Why Do I Care? is an interactive book written to a teenage and young adult audience, and includes questions throughout for individual or group study. A corresponding website, My-Big-Life-Question.com (coming soon!), will also offer readers a place to discuss personal needs and find resources for life's journey and places to go for help.
