College life is challenging – a busy, sometimes chaotic, mix of study, time with friends, and the responsibilities that come with life on your own. In Prayers, Papers, and Play: Devotions for Every College Student, Barbara S. Canale helps you achieve through daily prayer a balanced life, which is in reality a life of wholeness or holiness. And wholeness is key to happiness.

From mid-August to mid-May, with additional entries for summer, these devotions will encourage you and help you find peace in the midst of anxiety. They will also provide wisdom to help you deal with the challenges and temptations of college life.

You might be new on campus...or in the final year of your collegiate journey, ready to graduate and wanting a deeper or more relevant faith. Wherever you are in this part of your life journey, spend a few minutes each day with this devotional. You’ll soon discover that prayer is not simply one more task in a busy day, but a practice that will infuse every part of your life, helping you to focus, simplify your priorities, and ultimately, achieve a happier, holier life.
