Uncovering Secrets of Teenage Years: A Self-Progressive Book for Teenagers authored by Tina Vundi

My name is Tina Mueni Vundi, born and raised in Kenya. Since 2010 I have been in the fields of youth pastoring, teen/child therapy, and higher education. I started to implement innovative programs and initiatives to address the unique needs of teenagers within my community after graduating with MA in Counseling Psychology at Daystar University in 2012.

 I focused primarily on creating a safe environment where young individuals could grow spiritually, emotionally, and mentally. As a result, I have hosted, partnered, and participated in many youth conferences and weekend challenges in high school ministry. My desire to write a book that could help teenagers started during this time. I wanted the message of hope and salvation to continue impacting the young people wherever they could be. My father, who mentored me in this field, Rev. Dr. Nason Vundi, encouraged me that writing such a book could touch the hearts of many young people whom I may not be able to reach.

I struggled to find time to do the writing until COVID-19 hit, and I realized how much time I had on my hands as I worked virtually. I set up to write. The writing took a year from 2022 to 2023, published and launched on 13/5/2023 at Gallery Hall Memorial Park. In this book, I address key issues faced by teenagers, offering guidance and practical advice on topics such as building self-esteem, coping with emotional challenges, developing healthy relationships, and embracing personal growth and spiritual formation.

 Through a relatable and engaging writing style, I empower young readers to discover their true selves, make informed decisions, and thrive during their formative years. I also draw from my personal growth and experiences, as well as extensive research in psychology and Christian worldview, I penned “Uncovering Secrets of Teenage Years: A Self-Progressive Book for Teenagers, A Christian Resource.”
