The Young Traveler's Gift Download Free (EPUB, PDF)
Before David Ponder ever visited Truman in The Traveler's Gift, Michael Holder began his journey as the last young traveler to receive the unique gifts of wisdom offered by historical greats. In his senior year of high school, Michael hits rock bottom. Having been caught in the wrong place at the wrong time, he has now been suspended from the track team and lost his college scholarship. His coach is angry, his parents are disappointed, and he's diving headfirst into a downward spiral. Facing the bleak future ahead, he sees no way out and wonders if life is really worth living. But with some divine intervention, he's given a second chance when he's offered a once-in-a-lifetime journey of discovery. Rewritten to engage the minds of teens and tweens, The Young Traveler's Gift is sure to encourage and enlighten young men and women as they prepare to face the journeys that lie ahead.

This book will challenge children approx. 9-14 years of age, challenge them to think about their lives, where they're going and the best way to get there.
This is an excellent book to teach values for younger ones. This younger version of The Traveler's Gift is a great book to read to your kids to instill certain values into them. A+!
The people in the book were like me because the kid was nearly my age. The story had some sad parts but a happy ending that made me feel good. I have already recommended the book to my friend at school who had already read The Traveler's Gift.
This is a must have for any person searching for their own meaning of life. Andy Andrews does a miraculous job w/ the writing and flow of the c story. The suspense keeps keeps the reader from being able to put the book down.Andy addresses many issues that most Americans deal w/ today: poverty, debt, financial ruin, personal failure, etc.Any's story is heart gripping and truly puts the important things in life into perspective.Wonderful book for teens and adults alike. You will be blessed by this book.
Great book. Can you believe my teen son not only read it, but he enjoyed it and could tell me what it was all about!?
I just recently was introduced to the Andy Andrews collection. The young traveler's gift was an excellent read for my self but I also gave it to my two older kids (14 and 12) to read. It is basically the same story as the Traveler's Gift but tweaked to relate to a teenager or young adult in the early years of college. It may be a little mature for my 12 yr old girl (deals with alcohol and drug abuse and the poor decisions that result) but the overall message is very positive and this is a minor part of the book. I highly recommend all of Andrew's books and this one is great for the whole family!!
I gave this book to my grandson as an Easter gift. Kids need to know they have the ability to make their lives whatever they want them to be...this book is one of many tools in the box to achieve that end. Being reminded of the importance and power of one's life and decisions builds inner strength.
I beleive this should be required reading for any young person. The seven principals will change their lives. Had history been taught in this fashion when I was in school, I would have enjoyed it, rather than just put up with it.My goal with this book is to have 100 young adults read it, sign it, give me a 1 page report and it pays 20 bucks. I hope the pages get worn out.My first victim is a 17 year old that is the son of a waitress in a sports bar I frequent. Just caught part of a conversation one evening between him and mom. I asked her if he would read the book based on my terms. She said yes. A few days later I was dropping the book off to her. As she was taking the book back to put with her purse another waitress stopped her. The waitress asked where she got the book. She went on to explain she had read the book about a year ago. She started talking in detail about Truman, Lincon, Ann Franks and the other people in the book. I was stunned. Her final comment was "This is the best book I ever read."
