Becoming the Next Great Generation by Jonathan Catherman  I would not consider this a devotional, but more of a Christian Living. Becoming the Next Great Generation  is a great read for teenagers. The author, Jonathan Catherman, literally shows you what it takes, and how to become, the next great generation.

This is a great book to show teens how to have a real purpose in their lives, how to connect with other generations, and how to become true leaders. ~Katelynn *I received a free copy of this book from the publisher (Revell) in exchange for an honest review.

This book was very motivational to see the positive traits of the upcoming generation of young people. Too often the world is negative about our future leaders. We need to be ...
