Welcome to College    

 


 

 
“Wow! What a book!! Quite frankly, this is the book I’ve been waiting for the last forty years to give to college students. It is the single best volume I have ever read for preparing students for how to follow Jesus and flourish as his disciple in college. Welcome to College is very readable, the chapters are short yet filled with content, it covers apologetic, biblical, social and moral issues, and it provides critical information that is right to the point. Every parent with a child in or going to college should read this book. Adults should give it as a high school graduation present to every young believer they know. Youth directors need to know the content of this book and recommend it widely. And parachurch ministries like Campus Crusade, InterVarsity, and Navigators should make this a top priority for all staff and students to study. Morrow is to be thanked for writing Welcome to College for such a time as this.”

(From Back Cover) What will you do with your life? What a huge, frightening question! In college, whether you know it or not, you answer this question every day with each decision. That's why it's important to know how you will handle college before you find yourself in the thick of it. College, full of new friends and experiences, is a time that will shape your future.

How do you grow spiritually? How do you share your faith in a hostile environment? How do you manage your timeso that you can study and have fun? Is all truth relative? Are there good reasons to be a Christian? What about Alcohol? As a Christian, how should you view issues like dating and sex?

Jonathan Morrow tackles these questions and other tough issues that arise during the college years. Grounded in his own expereince as well as biblical truth, Morrow writes quick, easy-to-read chapters packed with good advice. Each chapter is summarized into "big ideas" and includes a hand list of related resources.
