5.0 out of 5 starsWhy is it important to follow God's will
By Adrienne Ranney on January 21, 2002
Format: Hardcover
Dr. James Dobson opens the reader's eyes in this short, but potent work. I read this book in just one afternoon; in this time my view about my future and my own personal goals and aspirations was altered significantly.
Learning how to fit God into my future is one of the most difficult problems that I, as a Christian, struggle with. Reading this book helped me to realize how important it is that God not fit into my agenda, but rather, my agenda should fit around God's.
Please understand that this book will not give you an easy pathway to God's will for your life. It will, however, give to you the reason why it is so important that your life be focused around God. As Christians, we know that God's will is best for our future. However, as humans it is in our nature to do what we want and feel is best for our own life. Dobson's goal in this book is help the reader realize that in the long run of life, it is not our own meek achievements that will matter; in fact they will soon be forgotten. He succeeds in illustrating that searching for and following God's will is the only way that any person can hope to have a life of satisfaction and significance.

5.0 out of 5 starsA must read for all young adults
By Adam Scarcella on March 6, 2000
Format: Hardcover
I'm a 24-year-old college graduate. I studied physics and mathematics while attending Wheaton College in Norton Massachusetts and I pride myself on my intelligence and my maturity. I can honestly say that after reading Dr. James Dobson's book "Life on the Edge" I had a completely different look at the world around me, and I immediately dropped my egotistical attitude. I have recently lost whom I believed to be my soul mate and it was this loss that prompted me to try and make some sense of my life. My mother obviously noticed how much I had been hurting by the experience and she gave me this book to read. Once I read the chapters on relationships and love, I became well aware of why our relationship went sour. I had failed to understand the exact psychology and the wonderful differences between men and women and how these differences can be understood and used to compliment your partner. Men and women are absolutely created equal but we are extremely different in many, many ways. It's actually these differences that make men and women so compatible and it was my ignorance to these natural and biological differences that made me lose the girl of my dreams. Don't let this happen to you. We must learn from others' mistakes because there isn't enough time for us to make all of them for ourselves. This book deals with the decisions of finding a college, deciding on a career, understanding the ins and outs of an intimate relationship, and Dr. James Dobson describes in great detail what it REALLY takes to make a relationship last a lifetime. This should be used as a guide for all young adults to live your life for the better in almost every possible way. Dr. James Dobson is a gift from God and he should be taken very seriously.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsI couldn't believe it!
By justin on February 11, 2001
Format: Hardcover
I started reading this book in the middle of a relationship with a girl I broke up with last year and am now JUST over. Why did it take me so long? I was VERY stubborn. I didn't want to believe what I read. The idea that this exciting feeling of "love" I was feeling might not be love? But then I went back and read more carefully and took time to think about what it said. My eyes openned! This is a breathtaking book. I carry it with me as a reference. Silly, one might think, but it has served to help many around me (considering I'm in high school). Two of my Christian friends are in a relationship. They are VERY Godly people, but they were having difficulties. One was discontented because she didn't have space. The other was confused because he wasn't getting comunication. I pointed out a few things from this book (mainly the "hand A and hand B" concept conveying space) and they understood their problems. It has helped numerous others and has given me an understanding of the people and situations aroung me. God Bless Dr. Dobson. I'm seeing a young lady now (a new person who apreciates my thinking), and I intend to give this book as a gift. Like someone said earlier-I think this should be required reading for teens everywhere.

5.0 out of 5 starsamazing book
By Book reviewer 2005 on July 14, 2007
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
You cannot beat this book for a teen or twenty something who needs advice for getting on the right track. While James Dobson is a traditional religious writer I feel that this book is down to earth enough to appeal to the intended age group. It is not judgemental. It just explains the benefits of making good choices. It also gives the information necessary to make good choices. It is so harsh that it would turn off a person who may not be as religious as the usualy Dobson reader. Excellent reading and excellent advice. Could also be useful for older readers as well.

5.0 out of 5 starsThe best book to read for teens and beyond
By A Customer on February 11, 1999
Format: Hardcover
I have read this book when I was 13 and again when I was 16. I think that this book is the best resouse (after the Bible) for young adults who face the issue of what to do with their lives. This is THE survival guide for teens. It helpes you not to mess up in you teen years, and to build a Christ centered life, that will "go the distance". This is a MUST read for 16-26 (and around that age group). This book has set my life in the direction that God wants me to go. It really changed my life.
