Title:    Keeping Our Hope Alive: Strategies to Restore Teens and Young Adults

Publisher Description: Marva decided many years ago that she did not want to be someone who watches things happen. Rather, she would be a change agent, someone who made things happen, especially in relation to establishing Gods will on the earth. She thinks of the writing of this book as an assignment that God entrusted to her. The purpose of the book is to shed light and bring understanding in key areas that are often overlooked or minimized in the quest for answers to our young peoples plight. Three words describe her motivation for writing this book Pain. Anger. Passion. PAIN Marva understands the depth of the pain that parents, especially mothers, feels when a son or daughter ends up in a crisis of any kind. Many parents have fallen into deep despair because they do not know what to do about their pain or how to help their grown children that have gone astray. This book gives them the ammunition they need to fight against confusion and despair. It infuses hope into situations that may otherwise be hopeless. ANGER Marva is enraged to see how Satan is deceiving a whole generation of young people and is causing them to waste their Godgiven potential and even destroy each other. It angers her that he is trying to rob the earth of the treasures that God has invested in these young men and women. It angers her that the dreams many parents have of a bright future for their sons and daughters are being dashed to pieces. PASSION God has taken Marvas pain and anger and turned it into passion a passion to help bring about the restoration of our young people. She is passionate about the advance of Gods kingdom purposes on the earth and since our young peoples crisis threatens to impede this advance, their restorationis automatically a passion of hers as well. A landmark resource and guide for parents and others that offers hope and fresh insights to rescue a generation of young people out of crisis. Today, many of our communities are faced with the challenge of what to do about the increase of shootings, gang activity and drugrelated crimes among youths. In response, governments are beginning to allocate special funds for the creation of programs that will alleviate the crisis. Churches and other religious organizations have stepped up to do their part. Still, instead of improving, the problem seems to be getting worse. The time has come for divine intervention Its time for parents and other individuals to move from concern and despair to action. Its time for us to become actively engaged in battle and make use of biblical strategies that will prepare the way for God to intervene and turn this crisis around.

Biographical Note: Marva is the FounderDirector of Real Identity Discovery Ministries (RIDM). She and husband live in a suburb of Toronto in Ontario, Canada.
