I LOVE Bill and Pam Farrel for more than a few reasons:
1. They’ve faithfully served in all facets of ministry including pastors, authors, speakers, and counselors, for Y-E-A-R-S.
2. They champion younger leaders like myself.
3. They share practical and insightful wisdom for all phases of life.
Without realizing it, you’ve probably read one of their 50+ published books including Men Are Like Waffles, Women Are Like Spaghetti–their most popular and best-selling book.
Today, I am giving away three copies of their latest book, The 10 Best Decisions A Graduate Can Make.
It’s pocket-sized so you can take it with you to college! Read it when you feel stressed with:
+Discerning job and career opportunities
+Finding ministry and mission that fit a graduate’s personality
+Developing healthy relationships with friends and mentors
+Locating a positive fit for church, parachurch, and social community
+Building on a graduate’s strengths, gifts, and skills
+Biblical insights and life examples offer spiritual encouragement and practical guidance for those beginning a career and leaving the student life behind.
Interview with Pam
You and your husband Bill have written a series on the 10 Best Decisions. What made you decide to write one for the graduate?
Pam’s response: Our kids helped write this book. In one year our youngest graduated high school, our middle son from college and our oldest and his wife from graduate school—so we knew they had much to say to grads! We [also] have a 10 Best Decisions series (for singes, couples, parents, women, men—so 10 Best Decisions for Grads just seemed logical.
Why is it important to finish what you started?
Pam’s response: If a grad will apply themselves in college and graduate school and make it their goal to be excellent, and go above and beyond, people will recognize their diligence and not only do they stand out, but they will get hired first!
What sort of advice would you give to the graduate who’s pursuing their dreams truly for the first time?
Pam’s response: Hold onto God. Life is such a rush of excitement if you give God a chance to lead and guide you! Give God your first 10 minutes each day. Each day look for God’s “post-card” of goodness to you, and His whisper of “say this” or “do that”—your life will never be boring if you take God up on his offer in Jer 33:3, “Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and mighty things that you do not know!”

2012 marks a huge milestone in my writing career. I began writing 8 years ago in 2004 before blogging was cool, hipster, and on WordPress.
