Testament Of Youth Book 64
Lee Lucario
The setting is Derbyshire, where Brittain, her adored younger brother Edward (Egerton) and his Oxford friend Victor (Morgan), are swimming in a lake near the Brittain family home. Young, handsome, laughing and teasing, these individuals in the full blush of youth have no idea how fragile their world is, no notion that they are about to become a lost generation.

In general, "testament" means something that serves as a sign or evidence of a specified fact, event, or quality. Some of its synonyms are testimony, witness, attestation, demonstration and tribute.Thus in the context of this autobiography, testimony is the appropriate meaning.The idea of era however, arises from the fact that the author is giving a testimony of youth from the viewpoint of a young person, a testament to the life of youths during a particular era - leading to and during World War 1. The youth from that era did not question or demand that the leaders justify their decisions such as embarking on world war. They eagerly signed up for the battlefield with no idea how their aspirations would be diverted, lives disrupted by the advent of this war, which ultimately robbed most of them of their lives. It is not a testimony of all youth but one of youth from a specific era, an era characterized by many restrictions on youth, especially young women. The author gives interpretations and experiences of an era to which she provides an eyewitness testimony or testament."Pledge" and "promise" are not the best fit for testament, based on their definitions.
Perhaps the greatest picture we have of the desired result of a healthy and effective youth ministry is the one given to us in the Gospel of Luke when describing Jesus as a young teenager. Luke 2:42 states that when Jesus was 12 years old he went to the Temple in Jerusalem with his parents. While this is not intended to be a discussion on Christology, the reality is that Jesus did grow from a natural baby to a young adult. During this time he began to encounter the challenges all teenagers face: obedience to parents, developing a self-identity, puberty, relationships with others and with God. Jesus was fully God and added to himself humanity, so it must have amazed the teachers of the Law to be conversing with a normal looking twelve year old boy. Others were amazed as well with his answers as he gathered a crowd around him (Luke 2:47). The holistic growth objectives Jesus demonstrated give all youth workers targets to aim for.
Testament of Youth is a powerful story of love, war and remembrance, based on the First World War memoir by Vera Brittain, which has become the classic testimony of that war from a woman's point of view. A searing journey from youthful hopes and dreams to the edge of despair and back again, it's a film about young love, the futility of war and how to make sense of the darkest times.

The text also feels a bit academic at times, despite a good effort to make it accessible. The Voice would be great for staging in your meetings and good for your devotions but not quite spot-on for a youth audience.
