About a year ago I read Jonathan “JP”
Pokluda’s book Welcoming to Adulting. Recently,
he’s come out with a follow-up: Welcome
to Adulting Survival Guide: 42 Days to Navigate life. (Baker Books, 2019).
This easy to read book is a 6 week
devotional, a few minutes a day to read a short passage, and then some things
to think about, an action step, and a short prayer. And since this is Christian
in nature, day 7 of each week is considered a day of rest.
JP covers any number of things that
young adults (actually adults of any age) have to deal with—sometimes occasionally,
sometimes on a regular basis. The transition from teen to young adult is often
a turbulent time, and this books help navigate discovering and embracing your identity,
learning about God's will for your life, recovery, pornography, freedom in Christ, Sabbath,
relationships, forgiveness, and several other things that most people deal
with, some more successfully than others.
This is written for young adults,
and while ‘young’ often refers to a
chronological age, many more seasoned people never learned these valuable
lessons at the appropriate time in their life. Bottom line, it’s never too late—at
least it shouldn’t be—to learn how to be an adult. Even if you think you’re ‘too old’ for this
book, you might want to reconsider---but it for your young adult, but read it
yourself. You’ll be glad you did.
As a member of the publishers
bloggers program, I received a copy of this book in exchange for a review.
4/5
