Letters to a Christian Student on Keeping the Faith in College

For many young adults, the college years are an exciting period of self-discovery full of new relationships, new independence, and new experiences.  Yet college can also be a time of personal testing and intense questioning –  especially for Christian students confronted with various challenges to Christianity and the Bible for the first time.

Drawing on years of experience as a biblical scholar, Michael Kruger addresses common objections to the Christian faith – the exclusivity of Christianity, Christian intolerance, homosexuality, hell, the problem of evil, science, miracles, and the reliability of the Bible.

If you’re a student dealing with doubt or wrestling with objections to Christianity from fellow students and professors alike, this book will equip you to engage secular challenges with intellectual honesty, compassion, and confidence – and ultimately graduate college with your faith intact.

“This is a great book! I can’t imagine a college student – skeptic, doubter, Christian, struggler – who wouldn’t benefit from it.  In fact, I’m sure almost anyone would be helped by this warm and intelligent apologetic for the Christian faith.  I will recommend this book often, after first giving it to my own children.”  ~ Kevin DeYoung, Senior Pastor, Christ Covenant Church, Matthews, North Carolina; Associate Professor of Systematic Theology, Reformed Theological Seminary, Charlotte

“Having sent four children off to large state schools for their college years, I am thankful that Michael Kruger has written this book.  With compassion and clarity, he addresses key questions that often precipitate a crisis of faith for young believers.  This accessible book equips families for good conversations about challenges to our faith, helping us trade panic and doubt for blessed assurance.”  ~ Jen Wilkin, Bible teacher; author, Women of the Word; None Like Him; and In His Image
