Measuring Up - Boys of Summer: Contemporary Christian Teen Novels

School's back in session, and it may be a year to remember...

When he asked his best friend and his cousin to be his new college roommates, Tom Van der Haas thought he was pretty clever. What could go wrong? Rooming with friends had to be easier than living with strangers.

Well, apparently friendly roommates fight sometimes. They make messes and dig into painful pasts and expose failures and simply make a guy feel as human as he really is.

But sometimes they light up the path to self-discovery, and they lead a guy to places he needs to go but was always afraid to venture. Sometimes they make a guy feel like a superhero and not a disaster.

Along the way, they might melt down, get kidnapped, or run away from home. Tom has a few lessons to learn about trusting God, who he is, and what role he plays in the life of these friends, and lessons are never easy.

Maybe it's not too late to get some strangers for roommates.

Adventure, danger, romance... Welcome to the Boys of Summer, the Christian new adult series for teens and anyone who appreciates the challenges of stepping into adulthood.
