Welcome to Adulting Navigating Faith Friendship Finances and the Future Jonathan Pokluda Kevin McConaghy Books Reviews

• This is quickly becoming one of my favorite books for myself and to give people as gifts. This book is SO well written and walks young adults through how to handle the major things of life with a different and better perspective. If you think you have life figured out in your 20s or 30s, like I thought I did, I'd highly recommend picking up this book. The truths written in this book will change the trajectory of your life in the best way possible and give your life purpose.
• This book was incredibly disappointing and laughable at some sections as the religious aspect completely takes over; especially in the second half. The title was misreading into thinking this book would show me how to navigate faith itself as well as other aspects of adult life not how to navigate all of those things WITH faith. Some of the "advice" given was close minded and some sources given showed clear bias. I even felt as though my own views simply made me helpless via the advice being given. If you are not a devote christian or even remotely feel removed from the church or religion as a whole, this book will not help you.
• This book is incredible. JP helps to navigate all of the things young adults go through, from relationships to finances and everything in between. He does this all while pointing to the Gospel and how a life lived for Christ is a life well lived. Can’t recommend this book enough!!
• I am already way into my “adulting” years, but this was a great book. I have read it and passed it on to my oldest child and then it will go on to my middle child. This book has so much useful information and I am sure will help out my girls out greatly. I got this book for a class, to get a few points extra credit and I am so glad that it was picked for this reason. I have looked at the negative reviews for this book and it blows my mind that the negative remarks are due to the amount of faith-based information in the book. It is written by a pastor and is meant to show young adults how to “adult” and do it with faith and strength.
  
  All in all, this is a great book to show young adults the way to guide themselves through life with faith and understanding of what they need to do. Great book and a must read.
• Even if some of these chapters echo teachings you have heard before, JP still has a way of getting at the heart of the "why" of all these subjects that makes what he's saying all the more compelling. It's obvious that this book is intended to be a helpful resource and nothing else, just a message the author really believes in. It's hard to move forward from reading this book without taking a deep look at your life and being prompted to make some changes. Great stuff.
• This is the perfect graduation gift! Wonderful if you have any children 18-35! The subtitle is exactly what the book does- helps young adults navigate faith, friendships, finances and the future. So much wisdom and biblical truths, relevant to anyone in their 20s or 30s. Whether they are graduating high school, college, or they are in their 30s hitting their head against the real world- this book is for them! If your nest is not so empty, I’d also encourage you to buy this book as a subtle hint. ;) I bought 9 copies for gifts! The audible book is narrated by the author and is engaging and fun. If you are 18-35 or looking to get to know this demographic better, this book is for you! There are questions after every chapter which makes it a great read for a small group!
• I haven't finished it yet, but this book is profound. JP speaks truth that is sorely need by folks growing up and becoming adults in this day and age. I am really impressed by how well it is written, too. It reads really well and is very engaging. JP is a phenomenal story-teller. I wish I had this book when I was in my early twenties!!!
• I've been listening to JP's teaching for almost eight years, so it's safe to say I've heard much of this book vocally from a stage. Still, JP manages to dig deeper using words on paper to get to the heart of the adult life. He has a powerful story of redemption that gives hope to those who are are a little lost and looking for some direction. Read this book and take some time to see where you are.
