Surviving the Twenties Transformation by K.L. Martin

Surviving the Twenties Transformation: Empower Your Soul and Change Your Life by K. L. Martin is an informative and passionate work of self-help aimed at millennials looking to enhance or begin a relationship with God. Concentrating on practical issues that affect people in their twenties, such as money, family, friends, and other core issues, Martin’s emphasis is on helping people in their twenties find their spiritual center and strength.

K.L. Martin’s book has a clear line that runs through it: beginning with everyday issues that are unique to millennials, it then moves on to ideas of the self and the soul, and finally how one can “be true” to that soul. She effectively writes about how the pressures of twenty-somethings can be equal to those of older adults, but it is in these formative years that it is vitally important to establish good habits – both personally and spiritually.

The writing is at its weakest when Martin delves into the world of psychology, though she does admit that she is not a psychologist. Martin’s main goal is to gently ease the reader to the idea of God, and how God manifests as the truth that resides within all of us. In this way, the book doesn’t come off as a strict religious tract, and instead has an emphasis on being true to one’s best self.

Overall, Surviving the Twenties Transformation offers some genuine and heartfelt advice about striving for authenticity and fulfillment in the face of life’s daily struggles. Covering issues that will apply to most everyone, it is most certainly best suited to those who are open to a spiritual path, but it is an inspiring and well-expressed work overall.
