NAV Press How to Stay Christian in College
College campuses are overtly hostile to the Christian faith, and many Christian students give in to defeat. But Professor J. Budziszewski will help prepare you and your parents for the challenges you will encounter, and how to successfully overcome them.

So far this book has served a great purpose for my church's new College ministry. I have been using it to create discussions about the different topics the author addresses and has facilitated great discussion among the group. The ebook is definitely a good value and its available to you right away.

I gave as gifts to all graduates with a personal message to each on the inside cover. The parents were pleased. Now if the graduates read the book I believe it will help them with their new environment.

I bought the book for a 16 year old Christian young man on his way to Norfolk State University. It being his first time away from home, his dad was really grateful that I gave his son this book.

Very engaging read - hits all the "hot topics" that surround youth/young adults today, and addresses those issues with Biblically grounded answers/prescriptions. I've been giving this book out as graduation gifts to all the H.S. graduates we've had in our family & church for a while now. It's appropriate for teens in H.S. too - not just to prepare them for college life, but to help 'arm' them with answers and Biblical truths for their daily walk with the Lord even in H.S. ... because, let's face it - High Schoolers these days are facing many of the same issues/pressures as college students! I've even given it to young people entering the work force/military right out of H.S. - they too need to be equiped for and mindful of the very same challenges they will face.

Review 6 for How to Stay Christian in College
Overall Rating:
Date:October 28, 2010
Attending college is both a prideful and stressful point in a young adult’s life. J. Budziszewski’s How to Stay Christian in College teaches college bound students, current college students, and parents what to expect at college and how to succeed spiritually socially, and academically. The book focuses on worldviews, campus myths, and how to cope. Budziszewski opens with a concise overview of Christianity. He focuses on what a healthy relationship with God looks like. He goes on to explain how to deal with questions from non-Christian peers, classes that conflict with beliefs, social activities, dating, politics, and church attendance.
Having recently graduated from college, I can say that much of the information provided in this book is accurate. However, I personally did not experience religious opposition to the extent that Budziszewski outlines. I never had a professor that mocked my religion or failed to give me space to state my beliefs. Nevertheless, I imagine that Budziszewski’s findings are more precise at other campuses.
Budziszewski perfectly illustrates what students will experience as they travel to a new location that is alienated from their friends and family. He shows students how to form beneficial friendships and engage in appropriate dating. Many other compelling points are made throughout the book. The most powerful for me concerns the almightiness of God. Budziszewski passionately depicts how humans belong to God. Using a real estate metaphor, he explains, we only have temporary possession of our bodies and not title. Thus, every part of our life must be dedicated to God.
I would highly recommend How to Stay Christian in College to people of all ages. While the book is targeted towards a certain group, its messages concerning worship, friendship, and marriage can benefit anyone. Budziszewski’s book is an entertaining and fast read that can be easily completed among the busyness of college preparation. Using Budziszewski’s advice will allow students to have a much safer, enjoyable, and productive time at college.

Without a doubt, every single high school church youth group in America should be reading and discussing this book in their small groups.
The author, J. Budziszewski, is a guy who has been there, done that and is still working on a college campus. He knows what challenges face our nation's christian college students. Budziszewski was once a Christian college student facing questions and issues on campus. Eventually he just walked away from God. After a long winding path, J. Budziszewski did find his way back to God and, interestingly, is currently a college professor. He's also the dad of two college-aged daughters. Without a doubt, this guy knows what he's talking about. Budziszewski draws moral and spiritual lines in the sand, standing firm on his believes.
The book is written for high schoolers but doesn't mince words or subject matter. Want to know what sort of belief systems will be encountered in college? They are listed in the book. Want to know what type of ideas are available in college? Descriptions are in this book, too. So are discussions on dating, cults and dealing with hostile professors. So what's the best thing about this book? Well, it's not just a big old list of scary things to frighten every teen considering college. This book truly provides tools for equipping Christian teens. The author wants teens to be aware and prepared. And to stay Christian in college.

Art and I think this is a wonderful book! Our pastor wanted at least one of these in our church library, and when they came on sale, he wanted 4 -- we've already used 2 for graduating H. School Seniors, who will be attending college this fall. Thank you SOO much for making such fine, educational, encouraging books available to us, the public, & churches!!

What a great book for graduates! We had a girls retreat and gave the book and the apologist Bible as a gift. The book covers every topic they will face and was easy to read. I will continue to buy it every year.

Loved it. A much needed resource for your loved ones who will be out on their own for the first time. Yes, we've raised up our children the way they should go... and lead them the Way. Now they're on their own and this book will help to unite what they've learn and put into action to overcome life's demands.

Great book. It provides very practical application to how students should respond to things they will face in college. But rather than just a list of do's and don'ts, it helps the reader understand "why" certain decisions should be made, what the intention behind the temptation is, and what the consequences of decisions are. It's a great resource for any student, parent, or college ministry leader.

I got this book for my first grandchild when she went to college and I ordered another one to be ready when the next one goes. I feel that all the Christian help we can give them is necessary.

I read this book in preparation for a course I am designing for students entering college at my church. Professor Budziszewski touches on many 'hot topic' issues as well as basics of the Christian faith. I plan on using this as the textbook for my course.

Our minister wanted four copies of this fine book to give to college students, or those intending to attend. All of us can benefit by studying this, with as many secular ideas as there are around us now. Thank you very much for the availability of this excellent book!

This is a great book for anyone because it informs you on things you may have never realized. If you are struggling with the fact of what is right and what is wrong, this book will help. Of course the best source is to go straight to God but this is a good alternative for those that love to read. Let God open your heart when reading this book so that you can take it all in and use it in your life.
