About the Book (Backcover Blurb):
Are you making your twenties count?Despite what many think, our twenties aren’t that dead space between youth and real life. Done right, they can be among our most important years.In 20 Things We’d Tell Our Twentysomething Selves, professors Peter and Kelli Worrall look back on the good, bad, and miserable to give you the best of what they’ve learned, like: • Dig deeper than your doubt • Foster good habits • Take risks • Adjust your expectations • Press into painWith humility, warmth, and brilliant storytelling, Peter and Kelli invite you not only into their wisdom, but into their very lives, sharing about marriage, faith, drawn-out adoptions, dark nights of the soul, and the God who’s in it all.But 20 Things is more than a list of advice; it’s a book that can change your life. Let the trend of your twenties be sowing wisdom, and who knows what the rest of life will bring? Includes action steps, discussion questions, and ideas for further reading at the end of each chapter.
Why I Choose this Book:
I'm in my twenties and I want to live each day of my life to the best of my ability. Enough said.
What I Thought About this Book:
Wow. I really liked this book. It was so chocked full of amazing advice given in a really loving, friendly, and easy to understand way. The book is written by a husband and wife team and I greatly enjoyed the way they pulled it off - I = have no clue how people can co-author a book like they did.
Each one of the points was so spot-on and helpful and Biblically based which was really refreshing. They told stories from their on lives, opening up to the hurt and problems they'd gone through and how they'd learned from their own issues and received healing, and how other people can, too.
I was reading several different books at once, but I can't remember anything inappropriate in this book, nor does anything come to mind that I disagreed with. (Surprise, surprise! I may have missed something though.)
Overall I'm very thankful I read this book and I really want to re-read it already. It's challenging and insightful and encouraging all at once. I'm also eager to look into the recommended reading that they had at the end of each chapter. Normally I don't like sections like that, but in this book I found them unique and interesting.
Conclusion:
In reality I think this book is one that very much transcends age. I would have found it extremely helpful in my teens and thing it would be quite beneficial to people older than their twenties, too.
Rating:
I'm giving 20 Things We'd Tell Our Twenty-Something Selves Five stars out of five, and ten out of ten. I highly recommend it to anyone thirteen and older.
