Independence Day: Graduating into a New World of Freedom, Temptation, and Opportunity
Graduation day is independence day for young people. It is the pivotal moment when their lives become more their own than their parents' or their teachers'. But what do you do with all that freedom? The crucial years after graduation, when life decisions and temptations and opportunities flood a young adult's life, are the years that can either make them . . . or break them.
New from Hungry Planet and bestselling author Michael DiMarco, Independence Day is the book every grad needs. With his solid biblical base and tell-it-like-it-is style, Michael shows new graduates that great freedom often comes with great temptation--but that it also brings great opportunity, if seized. And that's the goal toward which he guides them in this engaging new grad book.

MY THOUGHTS ON THIS BOOK
Independance Day is a wonderful book to give for graduation. It deals with the issues of Freedom, Opportunity and Temptation. This book is a bit different than what I expected, for the good! It is short, easy to read, you can actually read it in one setting.
The author uses his mistakes to teach young guys and gals what to do and not to do when they leave high school. It’s always so much more effective when you can learn from someone that’s walked the path you are about to walk and thats just what this book is about. Michael uses lots of humor, you will laugh a lot reading this book, but he also is straightforward in what he is telling young people. Tons of great tips and advice in this little book.
This book is for high school graduates, so if you have someone in your life that will walk that path this year, why not give them a gift that will last, a gift that they can go to time and time again when they need answers.

I liked this! Yes, it's been four years since I graduated but this is still very applicable even when you're in college. I know I dealt with a lot of fear in growing up and doing "adult" things like buying car insurance and balancing my checkbook. This book helps put those fears to rest, and lets you know that we all deal with it and how we can get help from God to ease those fears ad keep us from the new temptations. If you have a friend or child graduating either high school or college, get them this book! It's a great gift.
