この電子書籍について

This book is born out of the outreach of the authors to young adults and teenagers, particularly, those they are mentoring in an online village called Alive Mentorship Group. Based on an acknowledgement of the fact that our everyday life offers us tremendous learning opportunities, the book brings together various life lessons which the authors have shared with their mentees on the mentorship platform within a year (2021). Written in a devotional style based on reflective journaling, each chapter draws some life lessons from a reflection on the life experiences of the authors—their victories, failures, and observations from doing life with others on a daily basis. Their hope is that each reader will truly find these life lessons from their 'online village' a helpful resource as they make progress in their destiny journey.
