The Art of Survival: A 5 Minute Adventure Devotional for Teens

Within every heart echoes a calling for something wild. Something adventurous. Something more. Even if you don't quite know what that something more is, you know it's out there. And elusive as it may be, you know it can be found.

It's a calling planted deep within our souls from the very beginning. Come follow me. Our Savior invites each of us to chase after Him and discover His truth, "I have come that they may have life, and have it in all its fullness."

Follow two teenagers trying to discover that promised full life while hiking the Appalachian Trail. Witness God's words come alive through their wild adventures wrestling with nature and what it means to follow God.

A devotional for both girls and boys, The Art of Survival will be a daily Bible study that draws you in as you explore and encounter the Bible in ways you never have before.

Praise for Eric Ballard's books:

"As a father of two young boys, I will return to the lessons and truths Eric Ballard presents...for years to come."--Chad Alan Gibbs, Award-winning author of Two Like Me and You, God and Football, and The Rome of Fall.

"Eric Ballard answers the vital questions of: What are the most important values we need to pass on to the next generation? How do we model, mentor, and message those values to the young (men and women) God has called us to influence?"--Kenny Luck, author of Sleeping Giant and founder and president of Every Man Ministries.

"I've had the chance to interact with much of Eric's written work. He consistently delivers creative, challenging, and biblically rooted writing that leaves me thinking long after I put it down."--Andy Blanks, cofounder and publisher of Youthministry360.

"Not only is his approach biblical, but it comes from a genuine heart that desires to be a positive role model for his children. It is worth the read!"--J.
