Whatbooks you should supplement with on each rotation will depend both on what rotations you have during your first year and how much reading you actually get done. A more complete list can be found here, but here are a couple of guaranteed hits:

In negative terms, books like Jeremiah that require a great deal of redemptive historical and theological knowledge are not a great place to start. For example, Ezekiel or Jeremiah require deep knowledge about the divided kingdom and the exile. A young Christian could gain knowledge and insight from these books, of course, but they may encounter more frustration than necessary compared to others.


In positive terms, books that build basic foundations in theology, Christian living, and redemptive history provide a better starting point for young believers. The following are categories and specific books that I recommend young Christians try first. I have listed the four categories in the order I recommend starting and progressing.


After the Gospels, Acts, while a very challenging book, sets the stage for the foundation of the church, the coming of the Spirit, and the spread of the gospel. These events provide good foundations for understanding the epistles of the New Testament.


Exodus has similar ramifications. The exodus from Egypt is the central event of redemption in the Old Testament. The Passover, the journey in the wilderness, and the giving of the Law and Mosaic covenant are some of the most important and alluded to events throughout the Old Testament.


Certain books contain rich, foundational Christian doctrine but rely on relatively extensive knowledge of the context of the Bible. Galatians and 1 Corinthians, for example, require knowledge of the historical context to fully understand. Here are some books that are accessible (not necessarily easy) and productive for learning the basics of Christian doctrine.


"FRESHMAN YEAR is both a relatable recounting of the ups and downs of the first year of college, and an excellent exploration of navigating the challenges and responsibilities of emerging adulthood. A thoughtful, fun, and refreshing read--and the perfect gift for every high schooler contemplating college."


"Freshman Year brilliantly captures the hardships and messy journey of self-discovery in college. Accompanied by a charming art style, it's a heartfelt and relatable story that will resonate with anyone who's trying to find their own path. Sarah Mai delivers an honest and essential YA debut."


We recognize that college is a big investment for you and your family. From internships to jobs to study abroad, the experiences you have as an Arizona Wildcat will help you build the skills for a lifetime of success. Your Arizona journey is an investment in yourself that pays off immediately and lasts a lifetime.


The estimated Cost of Attendance (COA) lists the average living and student expenses you are likely to incur during the academic year (fall and spring semesters). The dollar amounts are calculated by surveying current Arizona students and using other resources including the Consumer Price Index.


Not all items listed will be charged to your University of Arizona student account. Items that will be charged to your student account are known as Direct Costs. Other expenses you may have as a student are known as Indirect Costs. It is important to prepare your own budget as part of a successful financial plan.

Books, course materials, supplies, and equipment: This is the average cost of books and supplies for a typical student for an entire academic year. This includes books, educational supplies, and technology-related expenses.


Miscellaneous: This is an estimate of costs for clothing, haircuts, entertainment and other living expenses that the student might already be paying for. What they actually spend on these types of items may be higher or lower depending on their lifestyle.

Love studying Latin and making discoveries? Then use your ever-growing Latin language skills to reveal the content of highly important, but rarely studied rare books held at the historic George Peabody Library. You will get to translate short and interesting Latin texts that date from the Renaissance or later and that have never been translated into English before! See if you can figure out why the books were once considered important, why they fell out of favor, and what we can learn from them today. It is recommended that the applicant has had at least two years of Latin and is comfortable with the grammar.

The Obama Scholars program, to me, means opportunity. Opportunity to have a chance at higher education and the ability for a scholar from a low-income family be able to raise the bar in his family for his siblings and younger relatives.
