About After College: Navigating

Product Description "The first year out was one of the hardest years of my life." ―Curt The years after college can be some of the most uncertain, unstable times of life. Recent graduates grieve the loss of community, question their place in the world and struggle to find meaningful work. It can be shocking to discover that college did not fully prepare you for the challenges you now face. "It's much rougher than I thought. I thought things would just play out, and they didn't. I don't have friends, I don't have a job and I hang out with my parents every night." ―Kate But you are not alone. For more than a decade, Erica Young Reitz has specialized in helping college seniors and recent graduates navigate the transition to postcollege life. Drawing on best practices and research on senior preparedness, she offers practical tools for a life of faithfulness and flourishing during a critical, transitional time. This practical guide addresses the top issues graduates face: making decisions, finding friends, managing money, discerning your calling and much more. Discover how you can thrive beyond your undergraduate years. If you feel lost in transition, here are resources to help you flourish as a Christ-follower in a complex world. Review "If the 20s are a training ground, as Reitz writes, then After College serves as a biblically rooted, insightful and engaging training manual." (Katie Thompson, CCCU Advance, Fall 2016) "For more than a decade, CCO staff member Erica Young Reitz has specialized in helping college seniors and recent graduates navigate the transition to post-college life. Drawing on best practices and research on senior preparedness, she offers practical tools for a life of faithfulness and flourishing during a critical, transitional time." (On Campus, Fall 2016) " After College provides a thoughtful, biblically sound, pragmatic, and much-needed resource for college seniors and recent graduates. Erica Reitz addresses well the issues of isolation, disillusionment, and frustration while also providing hope and a vision of flourishing for this generation. This book connects young adults with honest expectations for the real world. As someone who has seen many students struggle to faithfully find their way after graduation, I could not imagine a more important topic to address. Erica responsibly tackles this subject with passion and a heart for helping young adults follow Jesus with every aspect of their lives." (Vince Burens, president and CEO, CCO) "This is a must-read for graduating seniors and an excellent resource for everyone seeking to live intentionally. Covering the full spectrum of life's most basic issues, After College offers an insightful, practical, and biblical guide to fortify and encourage faithful transition. Erica Young Reitz manages to convey useful advice with an inspirational voice." (Paul J. McNulty, president, Grove City College) "From the opening chapter, 'Go to an Unknown Land,' Erica Young Reitz invites emerging adults on a virtual tour of life in the land beyond college. She conducts the tour from a deeply personal perspective, fully engaging the passions, possibilities, dreams, and dangers travelers will experience on their journey. Reitz's greatest gift lies in her choice to refrain from telling the reader what to do and instead make room for showing the way to enter the unknown land 'with a known God (who knows you).'" (Richard R. Dunn, lead pastor, Fellowship Evangelical Free Church, Knoxville, author of Shaping the Spiritual Life of Students) "Life after graduation can take you by surprise. It's easy to get lost. Like reading a trail map before a hike, After College challenges you to think ahead and prepare the essentials you will need for the journey. It equips you to navigate the surprises that will inevitably come your way. With practical topics such as decision making, church, community, and finances, this is a resource I wish I had as I was graduating, and one that I hope
