When Jonathan "JP" Pokluda wrote Welcome to Adulting one year ago, he did not expect it to become a best-seller. Now a year later, he has written an accompanying Survival Guide. Each day for six weeks, there is a short, focused reading including a Bible passage, a question, an application, and a prayer. Pokluda states his goal in the book: to help the reader put one foot in front of the other, allowing him/her to walk a path of faithfulness in the uncharted territory of adulting.

Having not read Welcome to Adulting, it is difficult to say if the Survival Guide is a good companion book (or not). For those young adults (or their parents) - looking for a concise, regular "reading" to start or keep you thinking through significant ideas relating to continuing to mature from teenagers to adults, the daily reflections are readable, thoughtful, biblical, and practical. Do work through this book over a series of six weeks, individually or as a group, would encourage meaningful reflection and discussion.

I recommend the book to any young adult looking to make wise life choices in their college/early working years.

I am reviewing a copy of Welcome to Adulting Survival Guide through Baker Books and Netgalley:


For a lot of young people they find the transition to adulthood a difficult one, with plenty of opportunity to make mistakes as well as bad choices. The once clear expectations of hope and school are gone, and they likely fear what comes next but it doesn’t have to be so complicated.


If you have a teen transitioning to adulthood, then Welcome to Adulting Survival Guide would be a great book to give them. I found the advice in this book to be helpful for those transitioning to adulthood!


I give Welcome to Adulting Survival Guide four out of five stars!

I received a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. Thank you NetGalley.

I wasn't sure what I was expecting from this book, based on the summary.. but this is definitely an important book for young adults. The world doesn't prepare teens/young adults enough for the real word of adulting.. and as adults we are left on our own to figure out everything. This book will help with som eof that stress.

"Welcome to Adulting Survival Guide" by Jonathan Pokluda is a practical and helpful book. This book is an excellent resource for young adults navigating the challenges of our world. It addresses many topics like money, goals, planning , guidance with Christian principles and decisions. When young adults venture into our world they are faced with lots of questions and challenges. This book will give them the direction and guidance they need. I commend the authors for writing such a helpful and practical book. It is so needed in our world today. Thank you to the publisher and author for allowing me to read and review this book. Thank you also to netgalley for allowing me to read this book. The opinions of this book are my own .

This is an incredible devotional for young adults. Perfect for any stage of your walk with Christ. The language is simple enough for even the newest believer to understand and it's FULL of practical wisdom. JP has a way of speaking to young adults that others don't. I'll definitely be going through this again.
