The pressure on teenagers and young adults to excel academically has never been greater. What does it take to succeed in college? What does it take to get ahead in life? What does it take to get on the right track and achieve success? Jonathan Banks believes that, too often, the most important factor in success is overlooked – God.In his book, Raise Your GPA: God’s Way to Win at School and Life, Banks uses biblical principles to demonstrate that God has designed each of us for success. However, in order to gain access to His divine promises, we must live according to God’s plan. This book provides relevant Bible-based guidance in an easy-to-read format. Each chapter concludes with a focused prayer, flash cards and thoughtful questions for individual reflection or group discussion. Now is the time to raise your expectations of yourself and who you want to become. By putting God first, you will live a life of success and significance – a life that matters.
