20 Things We'd Tell Our Twentysomething Selves - Paperback

by Kelli Worrall (Author), Peter Worrall (Author)

How to Make the Most of Your 20s

Despite what many think, your twenties aren't that dead space between youth and real life. Life is now, and how you spend these years will shape your future for better or worse.

In 20 Things We'd Tell Our Twentysomething Selves, professors Peter and Kelli Worrall help you spend them well. They look back on the good, bad, and miserable to share the best of what they've learned, like why you should:

• Dig deeper than your doubt
• Foster good habits
• Take risks
• Adjust your expectations
• Press into pain
  and more

With warm, brilliant storytelling, the Worralls invite you into their life and home. They share about faith, marriage, drawn-out adoptions, dark nights of the soul, and the God who's in it all. Wise, humble, caring, fun, they're the kind of mentors everyone wants but few have. And now they're yours.

20 Things is more than good 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.
