Recommendations From the Students of Christian Literature

Jemty Jr. Peter, Cedric Hollowell, Hesed Orichiro, Robert Choi, Gloria Ikea, Brianna Gage, Lavern Killion

The students in Christian Literature class recommend the following books

People should read Forgotten God by Francis Chan because it will open their eyes to seeing the work of Holy Spirit. We shouldn't forget that the Holy Spirit is also God, and that it has been sent to carry on the work that Jesus Christ has put into our world.

I would recommend Counterfeit Gods by Timothy Keller to anyone looking for a great read. It's spiritually challenging and contains great insight into how our world is filled with false idols. Kel-ler gives great advice on how to make God the ultimate ruler of your heart.

The Purpose Driven Life by Rick Warren is more than a book, it is a devotional book that will take you on a spiritual 40 day journey. This book is not boring at all. From my experience I loved reading it. It looks like you are talking to someone else, like me I feel like i was talking with Rick Warren.

A Love for Tomorrow by Vanessa Miller is a fiction book for missionaries who are not sure if they are in the right mission or not. It is also for young men and women of God who are not sure of who is the right person for them. If you read this book it will help you realize and even give you supporting scriptures of what to do when you are not sure of your path with the Lord.

Today the young generation often do what they want to do in their life but they already know that it's not going to help them and their life. The Jesus Creed; loving God, loving others by Scot McKnight " is a good book that helps people understand more about God, the love that God gave us through His one and only Son. It can also help lead their life to a good path.

Tips for Preparing for Final Exams

1. Start early, at least two weeks before the exam. Find out from the instructor the

information or types of questions that would be covered. Focus on the concepts and

ideas you don’t know, rather than reviewing material you already know.

2. Make a study group with other classmates. Share notes, give each other possible

exam questions.

3. Study in a place that encourages concentration, such at a chair & table. Try not to

study on your bed, sofa or anywhere too comfortable.

4. Maintain a regular diet and sleep schedule. Staying up late and snacking on

unhealthy foods can not only diminish your performance on the exam, but also add

unneeded stress.

5. Give yourself sufficient time to gather necessary materials. Doing that will ensure that

you have everything you need when you get to the exam and you won’t be rushing

madly to leave the dorm or your home.

6. Do what you need to do to be alert, whether that’s taking a shower, having a real

breakfast, or going out for a run. Don’t forget to have your time of prayer.

7. Glance through your study materials on the morning of the exam to refresh your

memory.
