You Choose: 12 Decisions to Shape Your Life
YOUR FUTURE IS BEING SHAPED RIGHT NOW.
The choices you make as a young person set the direction for the rest of your life. In a world that is often short on purpose and overly focused on short-term gain, God holds out a bigger promise: a hope-filled, purposeful future.
You Choose is an invitation to start making the bold decisions that lead to a great life. Inside, you’ll find stories from pastor Mel Mullen’s own journey, biblical truths you can build on, and testimonies from young leaders who are living these principles today. You’ll walk through twelve life-altering choices that God is inviting you to make—choices that lead to strength, purpose, and lasting success.

“My dad, Mel Mullen, founder of Home Church, has always carried a strong desire to empower young leaders and see them succeed.
Making the right choices was a common theme in how my father and mother raised me and how they built our church. Life was always about developing a Christ-like character as we chose to live Christ’s way. “You Choose” is a book that empowers young people to walk the walk and live in God’s way, according to His Word. It will help any person navigate life’s decisions with clarity and conviction. Making the right decisions will not only help you succeed but also give you the tools you need to avoid life’s dangerous pitfalls.
This book is a must-read for young people, as well as for anyone who desires to follow God’s call on their life.”
“You Choose is more than a book, it’s a biblical roadmap for life in a world that has become increasingly difficult to navigate. I have witnessed that Mel carries the heart of a pastor and the wisdom of a father, and both shine through in this powerful book. Just as Christ chose twelve disciples, this book gives you twelve choices that will define the outcome of your days on earth and echo into eternity. Each chapter blends biblical truth, personal story, and practical reflection in a way that speaks directly to this rising generation. A must-read!”
