College Bound for Christians by Peter Christian

College Bound for Christians: A Christian Living Adulting Guide to Help Navigate Mental Health, Your Purpose, Friendship, College, Dating, and Faith by Peter Christian

Expert from you book:

College is a great place to make life-long friends, and every stranger you come in contact with is a potential friend. Many fall in love in college, while others defer dating until after their time on campus has expired. There’s nothing wrong with either road. Perhaps the best part of college is that the people you meet all seem to have crossed some magical “maturity bridge.”

Life is now a yin and yang. With independence comes responsibility. They’re two sides of the same coin. Now that it’s up to you when, how, and if you do anything, all of the consequences are yours as well. If you choose to be undisciplined with your diet, you’ll suffer the consequences of the dreaded “freshman fifteen.” If you choose to be undisciplined with your studies, you’ll suffer the consequences of being put on probation.

My next question (perhaps you’re asking it as well) is: with all this new and exciting change, does anything stay the same? With all that’s on the horizon, what about the things that are now behind you?

I hope there’s one thing you carry into this next phase of life: your FAITH.
As children, grade schoolers, and high schoolers, our parents’ faith is often our faith. What they believe, we believe. You go to church because they go to church. You go to summer camp and school-year youth group nights because, well, Mom and Dad said so. But guess what… That’s all over. Now, it’s up to you whether you practice your faith. It’s up to you to decide for yourself whether you believe any of this stuff in the first place.

If you do want to keep your faith throughout college and onward, then this book is here to help.
This book aims to help you reconcile your faith with college life. How do you do both at the same time? How do you take on college in a Christ-like way? How do you do adult things in a way that makes Him greater?

In the following chapters, we’ll go over:

Tips and tricks for surviving in college
How to succeed in your classes from a Christian perspective
How to find a new church
How to find Christian friends
How to find a Christian significant other
How to care for your mental health
How to find your purpose
How to keep the faith

Read it and take it seriously, and I think this book could make you more than capable of tackling all the independence and responsibility you have headed your way and coming out a better Christian on the other side.

The Tenant from Hell by Kathleen Walls

The Tenant from Hell (The Casey Clark Realtor Mystery series Book 1) by Kathleen Walls

I stepped through the small hall with a bath to the back and a closet to the front. The bedroom was empty except for an ugly, old, metal bed frame. There were no curtains on the windows. The room had an overhead light fixture and a rope hanging from what appeared to be a pull-down-stairs for an attic. The sound of a motor alerted me. I looked out the front bedroom window. Hiram was pulling up in front. My car was hidden as it was off to the side in the Mulligan’s driveway, but there was only one way out. A picture of Hiram and his gun flashed through my mind. The windows were too high to jump. There was only one option. I grabbed my purse and yanked down the attic ladder. I scampered up and pulled the ladder up and shut the hatch behind me. I ignored the itchy insulation batting and tried not to think of any little crawling insect that might share this space with me.

Remember, I’m in Florida where we have insects that biologists haven’t discovered yet. Cockroaches are my least favorite insect. They seem to sense that and, if we share a room, they immediately fly towards me. They grow to the size of footballs. I know the encyclopedias don’t tell you that but if you’ve ever had one land on you, you will agree with me. There is no choice but to scream if one of those nasty things gets on your body or worse tangled in your hair. Either the Mulligans were conscientious with pest control, or I was lucky. No huge roach attacked me. There was a piece of composition board across a few rafters a few feet from the hatch where people had probably stored boxes. I scooted over to it and lay still hardly daring to breathe. I did remember to turn my phone off. It wouldn’t do to have it ring now.

It seemed like hours but I knew it was only minutes. I heard Hiram’s footsteps coming towards the bedroom. Then I heard another set of footsteps approaching from the front. I could hear voices but not make out the words. They sounded like two men arguing. I picked up a few words, “Mess” or “meth,” “Hank,” “Chief,” or maybe it was “handkerchief.” Then the unmistakable sound of a shot, a thump, footsteps walking away, and a door slamming.

For a few more seconds I froze waiting for a shot to pierce the ceiling and kill me. Reason kicked in. The shooter had left. Whoever he shot might be bleeding to death right under me. Even if it was Hiram, I had to help. I pushed the ladder back down and descended. A man lay face down on the floor. Blood was pooling. Overcoming my fear, I tried to turn him, to see if there was a pulse. Logic told me there would be none. There was too much blood. and it was coming from a very large hole in his head. I needed to call 911, but my purse with my phone was in the attic. Before I could start back up, there was a loud crash in front and a large deputy was pointing a gun at me. “Hands up! Don’t make any sudden moves.”
