  3. Don’t Waste Your Life by John Piper – a passionate plea to young adults to embrace a God-centered vision for your life.
  4.  Radical by David Platt – a challenge to American church mentality and invitation to live differently in light of the desperate needs of our world.
  5.  Strengths Finder by Tom Rath – a helpful tool to discover your personal and vocation strengths.
  6. The Purpose Driven Life by Rick Warren- a clear helpful explanation of the basics of faith in Christ and how that applies to our lives.
  7. Counterfeit Gods by Tim Keller – Keller’s compelling message about idols of the heart and how the Gospel frees us from them.
