About the book:
Is there a more frightening question for a
graduating high school senior than "What will you do with your life?"
In college, whether they realize it or not, students will
answer that question every day with each decision. All of the new friends and
new experiences of higher education will shape their future. It's critical that
students know how to handle college before they're in the thick of it.
Jonathan Morrow tackles the tough questions that arise
during these formative years, including:
-How do you grow spiritually?
-How do you manage your time to both study well and have
fun?
-Is all truth relative?
-Are there good reasons to be a Christian?
-As a Christian, how should you view issues like dating and
sex?
Each chapter of this new edition has been updated, and the
author has included a new chapter on Christianity, homosexuality, and the
Bible. Grounded in both his own extensive experience and biblical truth,
Morrow's book is full of quick, easy-to-read chapters and excellent advice.
My
Review:
I would recommend this awesome book about college to every
single high schooler and first time college student. This book contained over
40 different topics about what a college student could face in college. I liked
how Jonathan Morrow described how important faith is and how to take a stand
and how important it is to know what you believe before you enter college. He
also shares what different science theories believe such as evolution and the
problem with their views. I also appreciated how real he was throughout the
book and how he strongly encouraged students to go to class, how important
reading and writing is, studying, working ahead, and discovering your learning
style. He also shared how critical it is to not be lured into getting credit
cards because they are giving away a free t-shirt, food, or anything else if
you sign up. I also liked how he talked to the guys and girls in two separate chapters
about what each gender will encounter and what character qualities each of us
can focus on becoming. I loved how he wasn’t afraid to discuss topics such as
dating, sex, homosexuality, and alcohol and what the Bible says about the
different topics. Jonathan Morrow has done an amazing job at revealing what a
college student will face during college. If you have a high schooler going into
college, let them read this book!
