"Educators, counselors, and pastors concerned with faith development have waited for a long time for this detailed study of the young adult search for meaning and maturity of commitment and life.

In 'The Critical Years' she has provided many invaluable psychological and theological insights for those working with university-age students." -Letty M. Russell.
