The Freshman 15: a 15-week devotional for a freshman’s first semester in college

The phrase “Freshman 15” refers to the myth that a typical freshman goes to college and gains fifteen pounds while experiencing the bliss of unlimited freedom (and a lot of late night pizza). Whereas the original concept of the Freshman 15 may not be statistically accurate, what is true is that college is a time of endless opportunities and unbridled freedoms. A mismanagement of freedom in college can lead to unhealthy relationships, poor grades, and an immature faith that causes some to lose more than the 15 pounds of weight they might gain.

This Bible-based devotional book is an opportunity to help students find balance during their first semester of college. Each week, the reader will explore one of fifteen faith principles that lead him or her to discover overall health and well-being during this very important life transition. This book is organized so that each week, the student will grow spiritually, memorize Scripture, answer questions, and take a challenge based on the weekly theme.
