Description
Warning: College can be hazardous to your spiritual health.

When students go to college, they're leaving behind their network of support and heading to a world with different perspectives, responsibilities, and expectations. Even for those going to "Christian" colleges, there's no guarantee they won't face challenges to their faith. So how do students stay Christian in college? How do they stay open about their faith in the face of potential ridicule?

A must-read for every college student and high school graduate, How to Stay Christian in College will guide readers through the maze of campus realities. J. Budziszewski discusses the foundations of the Christian faith and directly addresses different worldviews and myths that students may encounter at college such as:
  • Naturalism, postmodernism, and modern spirituality
  • Casual dating that views relationships as just another way of having fun
  • Activism that places trust in one political party
Filled with quotes, statistics, resources, stories, and encouragement, this book will equip students to conquer the dangers that lie ahead and defend their Christian worldview while at college.
