Just One More Thing: Before You Leave Home Book Review

This is one book I wish I had years ago before my two boys left home. As you are raising your children you hope and pray that you have taught them all the things you should to prepare them for the real world. You also hope and pray that they remember what you taught them. Having this book, Just One More Thing: Before You Leave Home, would really help remind them of all the things that are so important and that you have been trying to instill in them over the years. To sum it up, they say everything I said and wish I had said in on handy place that can be read and reread over and over!

About the book:
This is the book we wish our parents gave us. Just One More Thing: Before You Leave Home is a packed guide to help young adults enter life on their own. In the book, the Gudgels use stories, perspectives, and dialogues to discuss 30 indispensable topics to help teens survive, 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.

Meet the authors:
Dave & Bernice Gudgel are committed to walking intentionally with God and helping others do the same. Bernice has a degree in Psychology and has focused her adult life on raising three kids and leading various ministries in the church where people can connect with God and each other. Dave is a pastor and teaches for Walk Thru the Bible.

This is one book I think would make a wonderful addition to anyone's library and for anyone to give as a gift to a teen about to head out on their own for the first time, or even a second time. I would suggest it for a high school senior at the latest. It was easy to read and had wonderful, practical and biblical teaching and leading. There are thought provoking questions to answer and charts and tips to help them along as they transition from Mom's and Dad's to their own home, the whole time keeping in mind their walk with Christ! So important. My favorite part was how practical it was. It is very down to earth and talks about every day things we have to learn to be wise about and may, as adults, take for granted, yet for a teen may be a very big deal indeed.

I highly recommend this book!!
