Genre: Nonfiction / parenting teens and college-age
Is your teen successfully prepared to leave home? Just One
More Thing is filled with practical advice to help teens transition out of the
house and into the rest of their life. In the book, the Gudgels use stories,
perspectives, and dialogues to discuss 30 indispensable topics to help teens
survive on their own, including: worldview, financial challenges, use of time,
career moves, moral dilemmas, sex, painful experiences, and spiritual life,
among others. Written from a Biblical perspective, the book is more of a guide
to making good decisions than a lecture on how to live. It’s perfect for a
parent and teen to go over together or to give as a thoughtful gift. This is a
book they’ll reference for years to come.
JUST ONE MORE THING BEFORE YOU LEAVE HOME is a friendly book
geared for parents and kids who are about to leave home. A compilation of
topics Mr. Gudgel talked about with his children, this book is full of sage
advice for young people.
Topics cover include (but aren’t limited to)
Choices –
Career Moves –
Financial Challenges –
Sex Matters –
Practical Tips –
Really, everything, from gambling, drinking, premarital sex,
paying for college, looking for a job, etc, is covered in this book as well as
a lot of biblical references so you know what God says about the subject. There
are also charts and forms for the young adult to fill out (photocopied, so they
can change it as they grow and mature) and questions to consider.
This book is EXCELLENT for parents to discuss with their
child who’s about the leave the nest. I’ve a son moving out in January (wince,
sniff, sniff) and I know I’ll never be ready. But with JUST ONE MORE THING
BEFORE YOU LEAVE HOME read and discussed, I know he’ll be ready and able to
tackle life away from Mom and Dad.
Recommended for young adults (and their parents) who are
leaving home for the first time, whether for college, military, or career. $10.50 paperback. $7.99 kindle. 252 pages. 5
stars.
