Reviews for JumpStart Your Future: A Guide for the College-Bound Christian
For many students and their parents, going to college has become a haphazard adventure. It's the next thing to do--a rite of passage, rather than a thoughtful decision. This book contains a gold mine of information about what it means to be a college student. Resources for making decisions, information about scholarships and work study programs, helpful hints on how to study and do research, what it means to think critically about ideas-and more-are included in this book.
I am amazed at how many parents and youth leaders send graduates off to the university without helping them build a Christian world/life view, or even knowing what it means to think 'Christianly.'
The potential of this book to give students a headstart in maturity and clear thinking is cause for anyone working with young people to thank Danielle Lee for her thorough presentation.

A must-read for college-bound Christians seeking a comprehensive resource that’s both personal and easy-to-read.

I wholeheartedly recommend this book to all Christian parents of teenagers who are considering a college education. Danielle Lee leads students by the hand through the process of deciding which college to attend, how to finance your education, how to write entrance essays, and even how to behave in the classroom.
She places the responsibility for making decisions and getting things done squarely on the student’s shoulders, but also shows them how to depend entirely on the Lord.
The specific recommendations are easy to understand and follow which makes this otherwise overwhelming task of choosing, getting into, financing, and attending a college manageable. All of her advice comes from a solid biblical base and worldview, along with firsthand experience, which she writes about with humor and insight.
