Graduates’ Recommendations
On April 29 PIU will celebrate the graduation of 18 students with 5 different degrees. Congratulations to them all who encouraged and supported. Some have recommended a
library item that others should read (or watch).
“True Story by James Chuong is a book that gives a very good method for evangelizing to younger generations who have not responded well to the old evangelism techniques. It also helps us to apply what we believe to all facets of our lives.”
“I recommend Sophie’s World by Jostein Gaarder because although it was a required read I thoroughly enjoyed the storyline and the characters. This book made learning about philosophy much more exciting.”
“I really liked the Survivor’s Guide to Theology by M. James Sawyer. This has proven to be a very handy book for several classes and for personal use. I suppose that most of the grad students will have that book anyway, but I don’t know if the undergrads use it in their classes. “
“I would truly recommend Love your God with All Your Mind by J.P. Moreland. This was a book that I read in one of my classes that I really enjoyed, but it was also a book that many students asked for help in trying to just learn while I was reading it. I had to learn more as I also helped others with it. It was like sharing a journey from a book that really challenged me to think about the importance of the Christian mind.”
“I would recommend students to go sign out DVDs from the Library such as Polycarp, God’s Not Dead and God’s Not Dead 2. The Library also has a lot of movies about missions and stories from the Bible and I recommend students to stop by and start signing out.”
“The Big Book of Small Groups by Jeffery Arnold. If you want to be a better and more effective leader, I recommend you read this book.”
"I will recommend Greater for you to watch, and please don't miss it. Its inspire me a lot, and I believed it will help you too. especially if you are a student, this DVD will help and give you an courage as you continue on your studies, and put your trust in the Lord. =TRUST TRUST TRUST=
Let us rejoice
together the
victory of
Easter.
He Lives!

Tips for Preparing for Final Exams
1. Start early, at least two weeks before the exam. Make a study group with oth-
er classmates. Share notes, give each other possible exam questions.
2. Study in a place that encourages concentration, such at a chair & table. Try
not to study on your bed, sofa or anywhere too comfortable.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. Glance through your study materials on the morning of the exam to refresh
your memory.
