Books For the High School Graduate

Graduating from high school is a great achievement and should be celebrated as if they just won the Super Bowl, but it's just the beginning. For many young people, college will be the next step they will take in the process of developing into young adults. So, how do you prepare them for this next journey? Here are some great books that will get them (and you) on the right track.

Welcome to College: A Christ Followers Guide for the Journey by Jonathan Morrow.

Whether you are a college-age person, work with this age group or a parent, everyone should read this book. Jonathan Morrow speaks from real life expericnce as he shares his insights with student and those who are significant in their life. Here's what you'll get:
  • Very practical with a wide variety of topics (from "Living with a messy roommate." to "How can I know God exists?").
  • Mostly aimed at Christians who are attending a state school or university. Still, very good for all students no matter where they go.
  • Has discussion questions at the end of chapters. Great for a small group or for teaching.

How to Stay Christian in College by J. Budziszewski.

Budziszewski writes about how he walked away from God and what brought him back to his faith. Some great stories and insights that will encourage parents and students who wonder if their faith will stand up to a university culture (and that there is still hope for those who turn away from God during these years). He still works with college-age students as a professor at the University of Texas in Austin. You should also pick up his other book,"Ask Me Anything: Provocative Answers for College Students."

Can You Keep Your Faith in College?: Students from 50 Campuses Tell You How-and Why by Abbie Smith

I've had the privilage of speaking at a conference with Abbie and she's passionate about college students. What I love about this book is that it is written by college students for college students. Abbie has some great thoughts and words of encouragement as you read through real transparent and not always perfect lives of college-age people.
