6 Little Books That Can Make a Big Impact – book #6
Posted by Jared Wass in Mobilization, Resources on March 27, 2010
The Treasure Principle – Randy Alcorn
You are currently in a situation when you are on the eve of having a job where you may make more money than you ever have before. In a strange paradoxical way, the sin in our hearts makes it so that, often, the more money we have the more difficult it becomes to live generously.
We tend to get what we can, can what we get and guard the can.
This book gave me a perspective on money that made me more free to give. May it do the same for you.

Stop Dating the Church – Joshua Harris
We tend to be a generation that is low on commitment with a low view of the local church. This book goes a long way in speaking into both of these unfortunate realities.

God at Work – Gene Edward Veith
You are now trained in a skill set for a career, how are you to think of your vocation in a Christian way? You will be investing a lot of your hours the rest of your life in your vocations/relationships (read the book to understand how closely connected vocation and personal relationships are). This book will give you a perspective that will help you grumble less and enjoy more your day in/day out life in vocation.
I can’t recommend it enough.

Just Do Something – Kevin DeYoung
This book helped correct some of my personal misconceptions about the will of God and how to find it. It has served me well in my decision making now and would certainly have been of service when I was a senior in college wrestling with big decisions. Take, and read.

A Faith Worth Sharing – C. John Miller
This book will not only stimulate you toward building relationships and articulating the gospel with the lost, it also preaches the gospel into the life of the gospel sharer. This is a convicting and very helpful little book.
6 Little Books That Can Make A Big Impact – Book #1
Posted by Jared Wass in Mobilization, Resources on March 13, 2010
The first book of note is a book on how to center your life on the thing Paul categorized as “of first importance”, the gospel (I Cor. 15:3).
This little book goes a long ways in helping people understand the gospel and appropriate the gospel in their everyday living. Nothing is more important than learning to do this for the rest of your life.
Why Read Books?
Posted by Jared Wass in Mobilization on March 10, 2010
It may seem “more spiritual” to read only the Bible and not consult extra-Biblical sources in search of truth, but the Bible itself would not agree with this position. Of course, the Bible must have the first place, but faithful teaching is a God-ordained compliment to our reading the Bible personally for ourselves.
In Eph. 4:11 it says that, among other offices, God has provided His church with teachers. In Acts we are told an Ethiopian eunuch was reading Isaiah. While he was reading it says,“…Phillip ran to him and heard him reading Isaiah the prophet and asked, ‘Do you understand what you are reading?’ And he said, ‘How can I, unless someone guides me?’’ (Acts 8:30-31).
We read books because in them we are exposed to teachers and guides that can help us understand and apply the Scriptures.
In the next week or so we are going to highlight six different books that may prove helpful in your transition off the campus. They are little and do not require a large time commitment to read. You could pick away at a “one book a month” pace and by around September hold new convictions that I think you will find very helpful off the campus.
Watch the blog and happy reading.

On October 2, we had 50-60 seniors cram into the Currie’s house for our senior connection time kick-off. Jared spoke about walking with God and ministering for a lifetime. You can read his post on the night and the vision for this time here. We have also podcasted his talk online here and on our iTunes store.
Senior Exporting
Posted by Jared Wass in Mobilization on October 9, 2009
On Friday Oct 2nd, Campus Outreach hosted a cook out for 09-10 seniors. This was the first of seven monthly gatherings for seniors to connect with each other and receive teaching/resources to help them launch into life off the campus. For this kick off we looked at success in campus ministry being at least two-fold.
1) Success is not to graduate with faith but to die with faith (II Tim. 2:11-13) – a call to walk with Jesus for a lifetime.
2) Success is not just to die with faith but to help others die with faith (Mt. 28:18-20) – a call to help others walk with Jesus for a lifetime.
Below is more info for the Senior Connections. If you are a senior or recent graduate mark your calendars, we would love for you to come.
Thursday, Nov. 5th – God’s Will & Making Decisions
Thursday, Dec. 3rd – Theology of Work and Finding a Job
