<transcy>A life of challenges (Une vie de défis - #profitedetajeunesse)</transcy>

You have two ways of looking at your youth. The sofa or the springboard. If you jump on both, you'll find that one sends you farther than the other.

We are convinced that God, in saving us, invites us to choose the springboard. The message of the Gospel encourages us to live a "springboard" youth, that is, a useful and fruitful youth who prompts us to see life as a succession of challenges. We believe that such a life pleases and deeply honors God.

In this book, you will see how your life on earth and your eternal existence will be transformed if you choose the springboard rather than the sofa. Better not to jump on the sofas and instead use them to read books ... This one for example?
