Customer Reviews

great book

This book is great, I really love how Creel writes this book. It is both easy reading and deep reading at the same time. It is also very relevant to those in their twenties. I would however suggest it to those who are just enetering their 20's. I believe they would draw the most out of the material, but still a great read. I would suggest reading a chapter a day, maybe as a devotional study. Each chapter has 3 (or so) pages of stories and giudance followed by advice from Christian leaders, and thought provoking questions, so that you can make your own determination on the material you read. This book is very good, buy it!

Deep and relevant

It's a deep, relevant devotional for 20-29 year olds. This book covers everything from Trusting God's sovereignty to learning when to wait for a spouse. A must buy for all kinds of situations.

Great for folks of all ages!

Colin has done a great job exploring topics of significance for folks of all ages. Each chapter is a great length to use for a daily meditation or small group study. Colin shares great wisdom, humility and insight into topics twentysomethings have to deal with on a daily basis.

Loved it!

In Perspectives, Colin Creel discusses pretty much all of the issues a twentysomething will face. Although I'm still a few months away from actually being a "twentysomething," I had already begun to think and worry about future relationships, romances, and career choices. Colin discusses these issues from a Christian perspective and gives tons of examples from his own life to back up his points. He includes lots of scripture references, too. As one of Colin's former students, I can see that he really poured his heart into this book, and his love for God is so evident. What makes this book so great is that his stories are so personal and so real. I read this book quickly because I loved it so much, but I will definetly read it again and take more time to think about the ways I can change my perspective on these important issues. This book is a treasure, and I'm so excited to tell my friends about it!

A Fitting Title...

Perspectives is a truly fitting title for this book, which has enhanced my views on the world, life and religion. The author provides a series of questions and advice that open new doors in the mind permiting new and refreshing perspectives to come through. His strength in the rhetorical strategy permits deep, self-reflection, and the "Seasoned Advice" he includes with each chapter continues with the theme of perspectives as a number of respected individuals share their views on specific situations. This book can truly be utilized to not only affect one's views--their perspectives--but through these new windows of understanding, a person's life experience and their future course of action. Colin Creel develops one's mind throughout "Perspectives" and imbues the reader with a new lens with which to enjoy and perceive the world . While the book exists as distinctly relevant to those in their 20's, it also provides insight to those both younger and older.
