Relevant book,

This review is from: Make College Count: A Faithful Guide to Life and Learning (Hardcover)
Because I'm not in college, I wasn't really expecting this book to be relevant to my life. So I was surprised when, several weeks after reading the book, I still find myself thinking about the content. I found this to be a well written, fun to read, thought provoking book. I don't think it is limited as a read for those going to college--anyone who needs a reminder that life is more than the daily grind would feel refreshed after finishing this book.

This is an awesome book for students going to college. It's funny and easy to read, but also full of unique advice that you won't find in any other book for students going to college. I read the book as a 30-something and it applies to my life now! I only wish I had this book as a high school student going to college. It helps students think through why they are going to college and how to make their faith count while there. I especially liked the student interviews that accompany every chapter and the discussion questions. I plan on giving one to every graduating senior I know!

You know the kind, a smallish book that you don't think will have anything really worth reading in it. Still you grab thinking it will sit on a nightstand, then fall on the floor and conveniently get kicked under the bed because you plan to never read it. That's what I thought about this book, I mean seriously I am already taking college classes, why do I need to read a prep college book?
Oddly enough, I stuck the book in my backpack on the first day of classes and then found myself with 15 minutes to kill before class so I dug it out and read the first chapter. After that I slowly but surely worked my way through this helpful little book. Make College Count isn't about telling you everything you need to do (or don't do) in college. What struck me was that Melleby asked the questions that really mattered. All of which point back to, are you going to make college...Read more
