Review Summary: Helped me prepare for seminary academic workload
Date: 2008-01-05
Details: Direct, easy to read and clearly focused, this book helped me prepare for a return to the academic workload of seminary 15+ years after grad school. Includes practical tips for study and organization that I use regularly now that I am in seminary. Another book that helped me prepare for the equally real spiritual and emotional demands of seminary was Virginia Samuel Cetuk's "What to Expect in Seminary: Theological Education As Spiritual Formation."
