Book Synopsis

The final years of college can be a difficult time for students committed to a life of Christian discipleship. How does a student begin to prepare for the "real world," so that it will not end in a collapse of faith or a slow series of compromises? Noted youth leader Bruce Main suggests that students should imagine how Jesus might have used his final years of college. This, he argues, will assist readers in making the necessary preparations for postcollege life. With study material and chapters such as "Calling Preparations" (How to determine who will be the ultimate authority in your life), "Pacing Preparations" (Avoiding the rat race), and "Portfolio Preparations" (How to keep money from becoming a driving force in your life), this book is ideal for both personal and group study.
