About the Author:

John Beck earned a Ph.D. in theology from Trinity International University. He has taught for 15 years at a Christian liberal arts university where he directed the first-year experience program. Beck is frequently invited to speak on the topics of first-year orientation and effective teaching in the college classroom, particularly at the National Conference for the First-Year Experience and Students in Transition. He is published both in the areas of biblical studies and first-year experience.

Marmy Clason has taught undergraduate courses for the last 10 years and has been involved with the first-year experience movement at a Christian liberal arts university for the last 7 years. She has frequently spoken about the first-year experience and effective college teaching in a variety of national settings. With John Beck, Clason co-authored ON THE EDGE OF SUCCESS (Wadsworth 2003) in support of college students who are on academic probation.

Review:

"The single greatest strength of this book is its Christ-focused-practical nature. Specific examples and different suggestions on how to cope with college life make this a useful book."

"Spiritual emphasis upon the uniqueness of individual creation is excellent. The scripture is very appropriate."

"Love the "exercises", prayer, reflection and on the net parts. For the most part, exercises and features were appropriate for each chapter topic."

"I truly appreciate your work on this project and in identifying needs of first year students as they transition into college."

"I love the Biblical examples used in this book. Having examples enables the students to understand the information better!"
