Cash, check, or gift card: money is a standard graduation gift. As a past graduate, I can attest that money is a welcome gift at those times. But if you prefer to deliver a package, you may wish to consider one of the
following as a graduation gift. Each of these books served as the source for one or more quotes in "Unique Graduation Quotes."
Title: Don't Waste Your Life
Author: John Piper
Publisher: Crossway Books, Wheaton
Copyright: 2003
Pages: 189
ISBN: 1-58134-610-7
Genre: Christian living
Synopsis: Piper challenges readers to make the most of whatever time they have. He discusses purpose in life, appropriate risk taking, central passion, and changing the world—no matter where you live, what you do for a living, or who you know.
Why it makes a good graduation gift: Piper doesn't sugar-coat anything. He possesses the courage to speak the truth as best he understands it. If every Christian lived with these ideas in mind, we really would change the world. This is one of very few books worth re-reading every year.
Title: Esther: A Woman of Strength & Dignity
Author: Charles R. Swindoll
Publisher: Word Publishing, Nashville
Copyright: 1997
Pages: 203
ISBN: 0-8499-1383-7
Genre: Christian non-fiction
Synopsis: In this title from the "Great Lives from God's Word" series, Swindoll examines the Biblical account of Esther. He draws out observations and principles from her life that we can apply to our lives.
Why it makes a good graduation gift: Esther was likely a teenager or very young woman. She found herself in a position of influence that she did not plan or ask for. She had to make some difficult decisions. Thousands of years later, the story hasn't changed much. Young people continue to find themselves in positions of influence, sometimes not even realizing it, and difficult decisions come their way. Those decisions sometimes offer opportunities to deeply affect the lives of others.
