Entertaining for teens and highly useful to youth leaders, pastors, and parents, So What Does God Have to Do with Who I Am? effectively teaches teens that they are true originals, created by God; assures them that they are special, loved, and designed for a specific purpose; and affirms that God has set apart a special place in his kingdom just for them.
