Well  me too-until I met Jesus.    \u003c\/p\u003e    \u003cp\u003e      Hi. I'm John. My life was the lake. Fish were my future. But one day  when I was just a teenager  Jesus tapped me on the shoulder. 'Follow Me ' He said. I left the boats behind and watched Jesus heal the sick  raise the dead  turn water to wine  feed the hungry  calm storms  and transform trashed lives. He made me somebody. Here's my story.    \u003c\/p\u003e    \u003cp\u003e      Author Ray Minner likes teenagers. He has stood in the hallway and watched many two-minute adolescent dramas of comedy  romance  and tragedy. He sees students trudging from class to class  day after day  feeling inadequate. Physically unattractive. Dumb. Unpopular. Wanting to be 'cool.' Floating downstream like driftwood at the mercy of past choices  swept from rapid to rapid by the tide of peer influence  floundering on the shoals of adolescence.    \u003c\/p\u003e    \u003cp\u003e      His daughter Karen died at 24. So he understands things like death. Self-esteem. Relationships. Talents. Procrastination. Parents. Money. Making friends. Finding God's will. Other stuff.    \u003c\/p\u003e    \u003cp\u003e      John here again. Jesus calls teenagers. He comes to you as He did to me  saying  'I need you.' Get out of your rut and follow Him. He'll do amazing things. Take you places. Excite you. Make you real. Water to wine. That's what He did with my life. That's what He'll do with yours.    \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pacific Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41323550048307,"sku":"9780828018395","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0103\/8902\/8915\/files\/0828018391jpg_5651192d-0ead-486d-b02d-938cd551757c.jpg?v=1774921698","url":"https:\/\/clovisabc.com\/products\/the-disciple-diaries","provider":"ClovisABC.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
