In addition to a brief narrative, each interactive chapter of the handbook contains:

• An "I Will" checklist of heart and attitude reinforcements.
• A "Things to Do" checklist of action points.
• A "Things to Remember" section of Scripture verses and applicable quotes from famous and not-so-famous people.

Topics addressed include self-acceptance, grades and standards, and love. In all, the book addresses sixty-six topics teens care about. And the handsome, sturdy package and two-color text design make Checklist for Life for Teens an ideal gift.
