After more than thirty years on the job, Fr. Gordon Douglas still finds that each day brings plenty of surprises to keep him on his toes. The only thing he knows for sure is that every day someone is sure to call out, "Hey, Father!" And often when he hears those words, a poignant story follows. 
Here's a collection of such stories—sometimes heart-warming, sometimes provocative—about young people who are struggling to make sense of their lives. Their triumphs, defeats, and challenges have left a lasting impression on those around them. In this book, you'll meet… 
• The senior heavyweight wrestling team captain who never missed a practice, competed in seventy-four matches…and had cerebral palsy. 
• Rebecca, a recent grad and single mother who made the hard but courageous choice to delver her baby and give him up for adoption. 
• Ryland, whose suicide attempt—jumping off the highest bridge over Puget Sound—left him wheelchair-bound and brain-damaged. 
• Katy's classmates, who couldn't forgive the man who had brutally murdered her and her mother. 
Life's challenges pressed these young people to ask the tough questions: What does God want from me? What's most important in life? Where is God when bad things happen? 
As you read about the lives of the students who have come to Fr. Gordon for help, you'll learn how you too can make sense of what God is doing in your life.
