MY REVIEW:
I wish I received this book sooner because I would have gone through it with my daughter before she left for college in September :). I definitely want to go through this book with my sons in a few years before they leave home. This book is a valuable guide to help young adults make wise decisions and be better prepared to live a productive life on their own with confidence and with integrity. It's an easy-to-read book. I enjoyed the conversational style; it seemed like I was just "listening" to some loving advice/insightful counsel from people who really care (I think it's because what they wrote was what they shared with their own children). Great stuff for discussions with your teenagers!
The authors cover 30 important topics and group them into 10 parts. The topics range from roommates, money management, priorities, car maintenance to drinking, gambling, pornography, and safety. At the end of each chapter, readers will find a takeaway point, relevant Bible verses, and thought-provoking questions. I really appreciate the Biblical worldview and practical application offered in this book. I also love the fact that the authors encourage readers to live for God, not self, and to be other-centered, not self-centered. I highly recommend this excellent book to all parents whose kids will be leaving home soon and to young adults who just start out on their own.
