What I Wish I Knew at 18 Student Guide: Christian Edition: Life Lessons for the Road Ahead (Dennis Trittin)

The What I Wish I Knew at 18 Student Guide: Christian Edition is the curricular workbook companion to the book of the same title. Together, they represent an innovative, interactive leadership and life skills training program for Christian-based audiences such as schools, universities, churches, service organizations, and parents. Through a combination of reflective self-assessments and dynamic group activities, students will learn necessary leadership and practical skills to succeed in life. The book is an engaging, comprehensive, and conversational life coach written to help young people reach their full potential. Through lively illustrations, simple instruction, and practical, reflective questions, the book reveals key, before-the-fact secrets to a thriving adulthood. It provides quintessential guidance to those who influence young people on their journey by addressing both character subjects (e.g., life purpose, spiritual life, values, relationships, communication, and handling adversity) as well as life applications (e.g., college academics, career, dating/marriage, and finances).
