The Freshman 15: a 15-week devotional for a freshman's first semester in college

This book hits a lot of the key issues for young men and women leaving the nest and hitting college. First psychological: who am I and what is my purpose? So many college age students get to college and figure they are supposed to know this, but without direction they are left to alcohol, drugs, and/or depression. The Freshman 15 is an antidote to this with its daily message of hope, belonging, and purpose. Spiritually, this book could be the Purpose Driven Life for college freshman. If you are a parent with one going off to college in the fall, it’s a must buy for their suitcase. If you are a school leader, teacher, coach, youth pastor, mentor, or friend of a high school senior, give this book to them. It just may be the most meaningful thing you could give them in a lifetime.

This is a great resource for any student entering their freshman year of college. What better way to stay grounded in this new season of life than a devotional especially tailored for you in your first semester of college. Those first weeks are exciting and scary but this book can help you stay focused on whats important and help shape you throughout your college career. *great graduation gift idea*

The Freshman 15 is a treasure trove of guidance for college students. Well written! This would be a great graduation gift!
