A lot of repetition of lessons I already know but still a nice reminder. The part about adopting self-deprecating humour to make others laugh I heavily disagree with among a few other harmful tips. Not really a fan of the structure of the book and it didn't seem like there was a lot of diversity amongst the students who contributed.

`50 Life Lessons for Grads`` is a gift book by author Janet Holm McHenry. The lessons are quick and easy reads, only 1 1/2 -2 pages in length. But, they are full of advice. At the end of each segment there is advice from God, and how to live the lesson you just read. This gift book would be great as a gift to High School and College grads. Some of the life lessons are: Love is a Choice, Debt will Chain You Down, You Can Be a Peacemaker and many more. The cover is very eye-catching with its colors. I feel the cover matches the written word because it seems to show a group of people throwing their `bubbles` up after graduation.

The one reason why you should peruse the contents of this book are as follows; Sometimes, ideas which conflict with your own are worth considering.
Why in the world would she begin her review with such a statement?
Because we scanned the table of contents and found a couple of points which vastly disagree with our own values/ideaology/etc.
However, we long for pure insight, whether or not we are on board with the logic behind it at the time of reading.
While 50 Life Lessons for Grads really is aimed for college graduates, there is still enough wisdom therein to go around.
There is also enough Scripture to go around.

Young people learn a lot about calculus and chemistry and essay writing--but the most important lessons are life lessons, those insights about life or yourself or others that help guide you for the rest of your life. Young college grads share that one important lesson they have learned, accompanied by God's Lesson (a pertinent quote from the Bible) and practical, bulleted points for tackling the relevant issue. This is a great gift for both high school and college grads from fresh, young voices they can relate to.
