Gateway to the Christian College Experience is a textbook / workbook designed for orienting incoming students to college life and academics. Although this resource may be used in other contexts, it has been particularly written with training for Spirit-empowered vocation or ministry in mind. In addition to providing an introduction to college life and best academic practices, the author walks students through a process of discerning their calling by reflecting upon their life journey. On the basis of their calling, they are then guided through steps for goal-setting and the crafting of developmental plans. Additional content includes biblical mindsets for success ("Attitudes for Success") and practical suggestions for life management while in college ("Managing Yourself").
