\u201cRooted in Truth\u201d\u00a0draws on\u00a0Psalm 1, which portrays the righteous\u00a0person\u00a0as a tree planted by streams of water \u2014 strong,\u00a0fruitful\u00a0and enduring. That is the vision Wood and Rogers have for every student who reads the book: to be deeply\u00a0rooted\u00a0in biblical\u00a0truth and equipped to flourish in a shifting world. It was released on July 8 by Christian Focus and is available at your local bookstore and distributor.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWe love college students and wanted to create something that would meet them right where they are,\u201d said\u00a0Wood.\u00a0\u201cCollege is a season where so many major life decisions are made\u00a0\u2014\u00a0faith, vocation,\u00a0relationships\u00a0and worldview are being shaped. We wanted to offer a resource that connects those questions to biblical\u00a0truth.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The book is\u00a0organized\u00a0around 20 key questions divided into four categories: spiritual growth, purpose and vocation, Christian\u00a0apologetics\u00a0and relationships. Each chapter\u00a0concludes\u00a0with reflection questions, making\u00a0the book\u00a0suitable\u00a0for personal devotion or group study.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
Rather than presenting theology\u00a0in a textbook format, \u201cRooted in Truth\u201d aims to be deeply scriptural while\u00a0remaining\u00a0accessible to younger readers.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWe didn\u2019t want fluff, and we didn\u2019t want overly complex theological jargon either,\u201d Wood explained. \u201cWe wanted to write in a way that draws students into the Bible and helps them see its relevance to every area of life.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bringing together their academic\u00a0specialties \u2014\u00a0Rogers in New Testament studies and Wood in theology and leadership\u00a0\u2014\u00a0the co-authors\u00a0crafted\u00a0a book that is both biblically grounded and culturally aware.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cStudents today are asking different questions than they were 20 years ago,\u201d said Wood. \u201cOur goal was to help them\u00a0think\u00a0wisely and biblically in a world that often encourages them to create their own\u00a0truth.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
While the book stands on its own, it\u00a0is also designed to serve as a\u00a0discipleship tool for parents, pastors and youth leaders\u00a0guiding\u00a0students through foundational\u00a0life\u00a0questions.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
