Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 You’re doing it wrong. But here’s the thing: you can’t go back. You can’t change your major. You can’t change your mind. This degree is a done deal and there’s no going back. I’m not going to tell you never to lie about your college plans, because it’s perfectly safe to do so. But don’t do it for the reaction, because you’ll only make yourself feel worse when the real truth comes out. If you are absolutely certain you want to go to law school, then go for it! But know that there will come a day when you look at this degree and think, I didn’t even enjoy being in college for this. You may regret this decision later—a lot. And if you are TRULY undecided, then it’s best to be honest. What if you change your mind. What if you decide to take a different major. Here’s what we can be sure of: we always regret something we didn’t do instead of something we did do. #2 The linear path still exists. The problem is that it’s the wrong path. It’s the path of the past, not the future. And if you want to be successful in the future, you have to be willing to think beyond the linear career path. -> The linear path between your major and career is an illusion. The real path is channeling the deep value of your academic and life experiences and taking them beyond traditional thinking. #3 The linear career path still exists. The problem is that it’s the wrong path. It’s the path of the past, not the future. And if you want to be successful in the future, you have to be willing to think beyond it. #4 Don’t lie about your college plans, because you’ll only make yourself feel worse when the real truth comes out.

What is the purpose of studying history? How do we reflect on contemporary life from a historical perspective and can such reflection help us better understand ourselves, the world around us, and the God we worship and serve? In this introductory textbook, accomplished historian John Fea shows why Christians should study history, how faith is brought to bear on our understanding of the past, and how studying the past can help us more effectively love God and others. Deep historical thinking can relieve us of our narcissism; cultivate humility, hospitality, and love; and transform our lives more fully into the image of Jesus Christ.
