Book Description

What are the marks of maturity? How do we grow up? Does gaining experience and insight come naturally? Do we all grow at a different pace?

In Overcoming Adolescence: Growing Beyond Childhood into Maturity, Marion Aldridge poses questions for adults of all ages to consider. His challenge to readers is one he has personally worked to confront: to grow up all the way—mentally, physically, academically, socially, emotionally, and spiritually. The key not only involves knowing how to work through the process, but how to recognize what may be contributing to our perpetual adolescence.

Framing his discussion around confessions of his own journey and struggles to attain true adulthood, Aldridge invites readers to explore the habits and patterns that can keep us permanently stuck in childish or immature ways of approaching life. He offers practical ideas for learning new skills, but more importantly poses insightful questions that can spur readers on their own journeys toward maturity.

About the Author

Marion D. Aldridge is a preacher, public speaker, workshop leader and an award-winning writer. The author of numerous books and hundreds of articles on topics ranging from religion to sports to travel, Aldridge has invested a lifetime in discovering what it means to be a citizen and participant in God's wonderful world. Currently the coordinator for the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship of South Carolina, Aldridge is at home whether having high tea at Harrods, rafting the Chattooga River, or worshiping at the world’s holiest shrines.

Book Reviews

A Great Read!

This slim volume is entertaining and captivating. The book contains down-to-earth stories we can relate to, and describes heavenly behaviors we should aspire to, throughout our adult lives. As etiquette books on being a lady or gentleman teach social skills, this volume teaches personal maturity and responsibility in a highly readable format.

—Susan Zeigler
