If your children are thinking about college after high school, these two new resources offer insightful tips regarding this important decision.  College Bound – What Christian Parents Need to Know About Helping Their Kids Choose a College by Thomas Shaw is a practical guide that includes topics such as your role as a parent in the decision-making process, the criteria for choosing a college, the admissions process, financing college, and the transition to college. 

Another book, College Without Compromise, by Scott and Kris Wightman is a timely book outlining many possibilities of receiving a college education in non-traditional ways such as Credit by Examination, Distance Learning, Dual Enrollment, and Independent study mostly from home, and at a much reduced cost. Homeschooling through college is a definite possibility!

Both books take into account the spiritual aspect of making college decisions. The books are thought provoking and will give you much to consider as you prayerfully advise your child in the next step of his education.
