Russell L. Estes brings you the next season in the When The Lights Go Out saga, intertwined with heartfelt emotion and inspirational wisdom. This follow-up from the original hit takes you to dorm rooms and football fields, with just enough of God's Word sprinkled in to take you on a journey that will leave you feeling as if you've just received your degree in Grace.
As Andy and Lacy adjust to college life, they soon find out that the same challenges of high school are only amplified at the next level. And added to those challenges are new ones that come with the freedom of not having the watchful eye of a parent around.
Each with their own set of obstacles they must face, there are wedges that are driven between them as they try to fit in with new friends. They soon learn that they have never needed prayer more in their lives than they do once they set foot on campus.
As the Eastern State University Bulldogs see success on the football field, Kyle, Andy's teammate, struggles as his world falls apart. His new chapter becomes one that is intertwined with his walk with Christ and the peer pressure of college life. He must learn how to navigate this new life while keeping his and his girlfriend's relationship from falling apart.
All the while, Lacy is caught in the middle of being a supportive friend and taking a stand for Christ. When Tiffani, Kyle's girlfriend, becomes pregnant, circumstances arise that make her feel like she has to choose sides. But by leaning on her faith, she realizes that choosing sides is not what God wants. Finding ways to be supportive, she learns that God's love covers all things.
As relationships crumble and tempers flare, new hope is born as these young adults learn to lean on God when life does not play by the book. Through a season of change, new and exciting opportunities are born.
This new book from Russell L. Estes is jam-packed with adventure, life lessons, and real-world issues as a new chapter kicks off on the gridiron. You will feel as if you are on campus with Andy, Lacy, and their new friends as they discover what it is like to be a college student in our current world.
When The Lights Go Out: The College Years will tackle the issues that other books avoid. Young adults venturing out on their own in today's world face new challenges they face that just a few decades ago, the world hadn't heard of. Dive into The College Years and create discussion with the college student in your life.
Hopefully, when the cleats are hung up and the scoreboard goes dark, you will find a new reason to be a light in this world.
