Welcome to College by Jonathan Morrow






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.
I requested this book because my brother is about to head off for college, and I thought that this would be a good and helpful read for both of us. And I would have to agree. I thought the chapters were succinct and well written, and the topics were practical and definitely applicable for what students have to deal with in college, and even as young professionals after college as well. I thought Jonathan Morrow made some excellent points and that his advice was well grounded in Biblical knowledge. I liked the addition to this edition on homosexuality, as it is a topic that is being much discussed particularly on college campuses these days, and many young college believers are not sure how to address it or if it is even an issue. Overall, I thought this was a well written and practical guide, and I think it is an excellent resource for those about to enter college and even those who are about to leave it. 
I received this book from Litfuse Publishing House in exchange for an honest review.
