The life experiences of Bill Gothard, founder and president of the Institute in Basic Life Principles, are shared in this personal testimony. Learn how Bill came to dedicate his life as a teenager to helping youth and their parents make wise decisions. Read the stories behind his years working with inner-city gangs, church youth groups, high school clubs, youth camps, and families in crisis, and how Bill’s thesis on a youth program eventually led to development and expansion of the Basic Youth Conflicts Seminar and its resulting ministries.

This book chronicles a revolutionary approach to the basic aspects of life, including success, wealth, health, and joy!

From the back of the book:

“Sonny” Perdue, Governor, State of Georgia
“Nothing besides Scripture itself played a more important role in the daily guiding and leading of our family than Bill Gothard and the Institute in Basic Life Principles. We immersed ourselves in the clear but profound and practical wisdom delivered by God through Bill. I found every seminar and every piece of literature was produced impeccably in honor of the One whose message it delivered.”

David Green, CEO, Hobby Lobby
“Through the example and teachings of Bill Gothard and the Institute in Basic Life Principles, we have benefited both as a family and in our business. It is as we take those lessons from God’s Word that Bill clearly articulates that we live the full life that God intends.”
