Product Description

The choices we make when we are in our 20’s follow us for

the rest of our lives. Steve Farrar encourages men and women to

make good choices so the repercussions of bad ones are not felt for

years to come. In addition to Godly advice, Steve illustrates some

of the real-life consequences when this advice is not followed.

Based on several messages he gave to students at Biola University,

Farrar uses his trademark style to capture the attention of young

men and women, provoking them to consider the consequences of

the choices they are making now.

Buy Multiples of this Book...Your Going to Want to Give this Away5
Ok I have to admit that the title [...] in...Great job Steve. I heard this book referred to in a presentation and I picked it up the next day. I read it while I was traveling to speak at a retreat for a board of directors, and it had a HUGE impact on me. I read a lot of books and very few have had the deep impact that this book has had on me.

Steve really focuses in on the power of our choices early in life and the impact they have on us as we get older. I was 28 when I read this book and it was good to get affirmation on some of the right moves I have made, but it also gave me some very needed direction on some of the choices that were still outstanding in my life.

I have decided that I am going to give this book to every college graduate that I know. That is the most beneficial time to read this book. But you know what else I have done. I gave it to my father-in-law who is in his 50's and he said that it was greatly impactful for him even though he is a decade past 40.

If you are trying to decide whether or not to buy this book. I would say this. Stop wondering and BUY IT! You will not be sorry.

Excellent Book!!!5
This book is perfect for small groups, especially High School and College Age. The kids in my group are actually reading this one. (A first in over 20 books we've gone through) It is well written like all of Dr. Farrar's books. IF you have or work with teenagers this book and Dave Ramsey's Financial Peace University will help prepare them to avoid the major pitfalls of adult life.

highly recommended5
I bought this book for my 21 year old son, and read it before giving it to him. This is a wonderful book and I recommend it for all to read who want to have a successful life and marriage.
