Freshman: Making Faith Your Priority: A 30-Day Devotional for Freshmen (Simply for Students) - Softcover

THIS IS IT: the beginning of a new adventure, a new chapter in your life, a new opportunity to forge your identity in a fresh setting.

Your freshman year marks your first time for every high school experience: your first day, your first football game, your first pop quiz, and even some of your first major temptations. It's also a year filled with some really important questions: How can you make wise choices? How can you create good habits? How can you make faith a priority, not just another "thing" in your life?

Lars Rood is your guide for this adventure. He's a pastor, an author, a former high school teacher, and the dad of three children who aren't too far away from beginning their own high school journeys.

Each entry in this devotional will walk you through an important moment, issue, or opportunity that defines your freshman year, along with ideas on living out what you believe. In other words, this isn't just a book you read--it's a book that leads to action.

Lars Rood has been involved in youth ministry for 20+ years, and it has been an amazing ride. A featured writer/speaker, he loves to be with students and families, as well as teach youth workers and seminary students.
