Finding U Within You is the first of three books in The Ripple Effect series. It is written on the premise that within every youth there is a unique person to be discovered. The letter "U" is used informally as an abbreviated version of the word YOU especially among young people when communicating on social media. Interestingly, the letter "U" can easily replace the word 'YOU' because it derives its sound from the letter. The word "YOU" would not be "YOU" without the letter "U". Without the specific letter "U", that word would not have that particular sound. The presence of the letter U is critical as it is the defining letter in the word. This mirrors the message of this book; that within you, there is an inner U. Everyone sees you but the world is waiting to be impacted and influenced by U. This inner U gives your life definition and context; it is at your core and is worth exploring so that you can discover and unearth your unique calling and purpose. When your passion and youthful exuberance merge, the earth becomes your platform; there is no limit to what God can do through you. God loves young people! He loves you and the youth in you. He does not discriminate; He will use you if you avail yourself to Him.The intent of this book is to help youths discover and embrace their inner "U" so that they can positively impact others and thereby send youthful ripples to enhance the kingdom of God through their gifts and abilities.
