According to The Barna Group research, only 31 percent of twentysomethings attend church on a weekly basis, but 80 percent say their religious faith is highly important. Author Erin Keeley Marshall shares what she wishes she had learned after college and in doing so helps this spiritually hungry generation find God’s way to identity, security, and purpose.
Using friendly wit, relatable experience, and biblical illustrations, Marshall addresses readers’ needs, concerns, and hopes with faith-grounded guidance and encouragement.
- Prayer is the frontline of every battle.
- Everyone has issues: own yours.
- Comparison is the death of contentment.
- Life may be exciting in a power suit, but it’s hot in there!
- When relying on God, waiting is not time wasted.
These personal and advantageous truths of faith can reach a generation that adeptly builds community and connection in their social and professional lives—yet still longs for it in their spiritual lives.

"What if I had had Navigating Route 20-Something when I was in my twenties? Would my life have been different? This is an amazing resource and it is filled with wisdom I needed when I experienced those life-deciding twenties. Erin Keeley Marshall has written a profound book that had me nodding my head and highlighting passages. She knows just how to hit the nail on the head. If you're a 20-something, this is a must read—Your life will be all the better for it."
—Jenny B. Jones, author of In Between, On the Loose, and The Big Picture
"Erin Marshall's book, Navigating Route 20 Something, is the proverbial breath of fresh air. In simple, relatable, and conversational language she manages to impart a great deal of theological wisdom without a single preachy moment.
"Reading her book is like sitting down with an older and wiser sister, maybe a youngish 'fun' aunt, while she shares what she has learned about patience, envy, dreams, true love, and more. And that's just the beginning.
"Each chapter closes with thought-provoking questions that guide the readers to explore their own reactions to, and understanding of, scripture. The book closes with quick-reference scripture for a variety of topics, including faith, fear, past and future. The lists on living abundantly and things Marshall wishes she had done sooner are priceless.
"If there's a group of 20-somethings (or 30-somethings, or 40 somethings, or...you get the point) women who are looking for a good book club choice — I highly recommend this book. The people who do read it will find their lives enriched for having done so."
