Personal salvation and marriage are more important decisions. Beyond that, few life decisions are more challenging and full of consequences than the decision to attend college. Not only are the financial, social, and spiritual stakes high, the deluge of information is confusing and often conflicting.

With The Right Choice: Choosing a College and Why it Matters, Dr. Jackson helps the student, parents, pastors, and family to choose wisely a college pathway for maximum life impact. While making no secret of advocating for the benefits of a faith based higher education experience, Choosing College provides a narrative conversational style that equips the reader to navigate the forest of data, influences, and life perspectives.

Dr. Jackson brings a strong bias towards three particular dimensions of this important life decision. Thriving Spiritually is about your faith growing during college rather than being destroyed. Quality Liberal Arts Education is about learning to read, write, think, and speak well; these abilities will serve you the rest of your life in whatever pursuits you attempt. Exceptionally Employable helps to describe you as a college graduate understanding what is valuable to your first and any future employers you may have.

"This book is full of wisdom and practical advice for anyone facing tough decisions. I am grateful for Dr. Jackson sharing these valuable lessons in a conversational way. This book is like speaking with a trusted friend."
Brady Boyd, New Life Church, Colorado Springs Author of "Remarkable"

"I'm astonished at the lack of wisdom available to help students make one of the 5 most important decisions of their lives. John Jackson has done future generations a huge favor with this very helpful book written by one whose whole life is devoted to guiding and building into college students."
Gene Appel, Senior Pastor. Eastside Christian Church, Anaheim, CA

"I live with a philosophy that I need to surround myself with wise counsel. I regularly seek out wisdom and insight from those who know more than me and have more experience than me. There are many times where I feel overwhelmed and do not know what to do. I want to make the right choice, but I am not sure what that is. In those times, I seek out those valued voices of counsel. I am a father of three children and deciding on which college to attend is a major life decision we have made and will make again. Whether you are a student or a parent, that life decision can be overwhelming and confusing. I am so grateful that Dr. John Jackson has written The Right Choice to help others navigate that season with wisdom and insight. Dr. Jackson has taken the time to write this book in order to come alongside you, like a friend and mentor, with wisdom and insight, to help you make a choice that will impact the lives of those you love the most."
Banning Liebscher, Jesus Culture Founder and Pastor

What about college? President John Jackson gives any student a framework for deciding if college is a good choice and if so what college might be the right one. He does so clearly, cutting through what is not necessary to what matters. As a leading Christian educational leader and entrepreneur, Jackson sees both the changes happening in college education and the important values that have endured and will endure. This book is an excellent guide to a big decision that must be made in confusing times!
John Mark N Reynolds PhD, President, The Saint Constantine School Senior Fellow in the Humanities, The King's College

"John Jackson has written a helpful tool for working through the myriad of complex issues that surround choosing a path and place of higher education. If you're looking for help in selecting the college that's right for you (or know someone who is), this book will provide invaluable help."
Larry Osborne, Pastor & Author, North Coast Church

"I did not go to college. But three of our kids have completed their college education, and we just sent our fourth off to his freshman year. This is a book I wished I'd had in my hands 8 years ago when we started down this path. So many families are going to benefit from Dr. Jackson's wisdom.
Tim Stevens, Vice President of Consulting, Vanderbloemen

"As it pertains to our God ordained destiny; the right decisions will facilitate, advance, and accelerate while the wrong choices can easily obstruct, hinder and impede. The Right Choice equips the student committed to doing God's will with the necessary tools not only as it pertains to selecting the right school but also in living the right life; must read, must do!"
Samuel Rodriguez, New Season Lead Pastor, NHCLC President, Author of You Are Next!, Executive Producer Breakthrough The Movie

"For any complicated journey a map is indispensable...a guide for the way forward that doesn't tell you there is only one way to arrive at your destination. For parents and kids considering college, this is that book. I wish John had written this fifteen years ago. Drawing us to the intersection of dreams, desires and details, John then moves to consideration of public, private and faith-based college options. Helpful beyond words."
Nancy Ortberg, CEO of Transforming the Bay with Christ

"I'll never forget my son Ben doing something that had never been done to me as the pastor of a church - he interrupted my staff meeting & handed me his acceptance letter to NYU in Manhattan! We both embraced as he wept for joy and I wept for how! It was the right decision, the right school & it has paid huge dividends. This book addresses issues that must be faced when deciding on a college. Dr Jackson has written an excellent book that every parent and prospective college student should read."
Bob Roberts, Founder NorthWood Church / Glocal.net

"The RIGHT CHOICE, by John Jackson, is a superb resource to provide direction for students, parents, and others in the important decision related to the selection of a college. Based on his years of leadership in higher education, Jackson displays great wisdom and insight in helping his readers walk through the various options in what is often a challenging and complex process for more than a few. I am delighted to heartily recommend this fine book with confidence that it will be the right choice to provide guidance for many along the way."
David S. Dockery, Chancellor, Trinity International University/Trinity Evangelical Divinity School

"Dr. John Jackson has provided a helpful tool in a manageable package. Use his wisdom to help you mine through the options to make the right college choice for you."
Dr. Robert E. Logan, Adjunct DMin Professor at Fuller Seminary, author of The Leadership

They fit small and waistband doesn’t secure
Size: Size 4 (104 Count), Color: Wild Thang + All the Alpacas
I love the prints and I love that they are unscented. We haven’t had any issues with irritation. I have used the wipes from this brand too, and they are awesome. However, these diapers fit pretty small (inaccurate from the weight chart) and are pretty short. They don’t work for long, chunky babies. I wish they would fix the waist band because there needs to be an extra place for the sides to secure onto. The diaper moves really easy (especially the waist band in the front) and we have had several leaks and blowouts. I also think there should be a blowout barrier in the back. I love the idea, I just think there needs to be some small tweaks to make these worth the price because they are pretty expensive.

Best diaper for my family
Size: Size 3 (120 Count), Color: Space Travel + It's a Pawty
I really like theses for my son, they are easy to put on, they hold through the entire night of him peeing(8pm-6am) they are really soft and good quality. The only complaint I have is that my son is able to take off the tabs and he pees through his clothes but I think that’s more of a him issue. But really good value and they are clean and perfect for kinda crunchy moms as i decided on this brand when reading the ingredients in pampers, Huggies, ect. these work the best for my family . Plus they have really cute prints

Great Quality Compared to Luxury Brands
Size: Size 3 (120 Count), Color: Just Peachy + Flower Power
We've been using Honest diapers for a few months now. We love the structure and design of the diapers - they feel like great quality for the price, especially when comparing to other more luxury diapers on the market. My daughter LOVES the designs, also, so that's a huge plus. So far we haven't had any blow outs... fingers crossed it stays that way! She's able to sleep in them all night without needing a change (usually 11-11.5 hours) and the diaper stays intact with no leaking, etc. They aren't super thick so it makes it easy to put her in cute outfits. My girl is petite, so I do feel like the diaper is really high up her back but that doesn't seem to bother her any. Overall, as long as she's happy and we're all sleeping well, I'm happy!

It leaves your skin SILKY SMOOTH!!!!
Scent: Original, Size: 18 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
**I was NOT COMPENSATED IN ANY WAY FOR MY REVIEW!!! This is TOTALLY my experience with this product!❤️ THIS STUFF REALLY WORKS! I was hesitant to buy it at first, but the salon I use Palm Beach Tan was running a sale & I thought "Why not give it a try?" Not only did it enhance & extend my tan, it made my dry skin feel nurshished & silky smooth, especially my legs from the knees down! Up until I started using THIS, NO MATTER HOW GREAT THE LOTION MIGHT BE, I would wake up in the morning with dry skin! UGH!!! NOT ANYMORE AFTER USING THIS! THIS LOTION, WHETHER TANNING OR NOT IS NOW MY ONLY GO TO LOTION! It doesn't leave your skin feeling sticky or "weighted" down at all! It absorbs quickly, living my skin feeling like young, youthful, silky smooth skin! You absolutely CANNOT go wrong with this lotion or any of the other Hempz Line lotions! If you want soft, silky skin without that normal icky lotion feeling, YOU GOTTA TRY THIS! 😊
