Book excerpt: Precipice: a steep cliff, or situation of great peril College is a blast. But it can also be risky - did you know that many Christian women fall away from their faith or become less confident during college? But it doesn't have to be this way. Using personal anecdotes from female students and graduates, this book offers help for women who want to develop a God-centered confidence during their undergraduate years. Topics include: letting God guide your dreams, how to cope with falling into sin, steps toward God-driven decisions, and making sense of feminism on campus. The final part of the book (Beyond the Precipice) looks at ideas that women usually keep in the back of their minds during college, like marriage and children. An underlying theme throughout is that women who trust God with their daily lives during college, even with their own identities, will become confident adults geared for navigating life. Anna Davis graduated in 2001 from the University of Texas at Dallas. The party scene, career goals, and personal dreams all seemed to collide during those first two years on campus, creating intense spiritual distress. Later on, when two of her female relatives went to college, Anna saw them go through the same set of struggles. This book grew out of her conversations with them. Anna has more than 10 years experience as a writer and editor, with most of her work centered in medical editing and health ghostwriting. She also edits newsletters and other content for her home church in Allen, Texas, where she lives with her college sweetheart and their two young children.
