Every student asks questions about life beyond the classroom: • What does it mean to be in community? • How can I discern my vocation? • How should I understand marriage and sex? • How should I relate to money and power? • What happens if I doubt my faith? • How should I approach interfaith dialogue?
"Every church that sends its kids off to college and every parent who wants their child to navigate the higher education experience as a disciple of Jesus should give them a compass and this book. Both will help the matriculating student stay on course-in the case of this book, not with canned advice, as is so often the case, but with deep wisdom, honest reflections, and practical advice about the most significant questions that often haunt Christian students, whether they attend secular or religious institutions. In any case, every Christian college should make this book required reading during its students' first semester."
Dennis Okholm, Azusa Pacific University, author of Learning Theology through the Church's
"Despite stereotypes, I have found many young adults long for guidance from trustworthy older saints who don't offer bumper sticker clichés but instead provide hard-earned wisdom. In this wonderfully practical yet richly theological work, we have honest and relevant reflections offered to the next generation of believers. Whether struggling with questions about doubt or vocation, sex or suffering, this book does not shy away from real challenges. I encourage young and old to read these pages; we can all learn from the balanced vision it provides."
Kelly M. Kapic, professor of theological studies at Covenant College
