Summary: A Real-Life Teenager's Review
Comment: As a high school senior who is approaching college quickly, I thought this book was appealing and engrossing. I have read several works about living for God and preparing for college, but never one as well written as J. Budziszewski's book. Budziszewski did not follow the normal cliches that most authors use and he did not talk down to the reader. Unlike other books on this subject, the author was specific. When he spoke about debating professors with respect, he did not leave the reader wondering how to accomplish this feat. He gave example dialogues for several points. This proved to be very helpful for me. One of the best aspects of the book was that it was surprisingly Biblically sound. Yes, it sounds odd, but I have read "living for God" books that were fairly stuffed with feel-good philosophy. The author challenged the reader to live for Christ completely, not just to fit God into your college schedule next to your water aerobics class. Precise and original, How to Stay Christian in College reinforced moral principles while giving practical advice from an author who actually remembered what it was like to be a vulnerable young adult. I believe this book is a great resource for current and prospective college students. Many of the same principles of "holding your own without being a jerk" are beneficial for teenagers in high school as well. The phrase WWJD? (What Would Jesus Do?) seems to be slightly overused these days. The wording of the phrase makes it sound as if it depends on what the speaker thinks Jesus would do, not what the Bible said He would do in a situation. Budziszewski ended his book with an alternative catchphrase which does not rely on human opinion. In fact, the phrase is so exceptional, I am going to finish my review with it. Simple and powerful, "Follow Christ."

Summary: How to stay Christian in college
Comment: This book is packed full of useful and practical information about how to stand firm in the faith in college. The author formats the information in a way that is easy to understand and to remember. If you want to be able to give answers to those who challenge your faith and want to be ready for the spiritual and intellectual battle in college, this is the book for you. I thoroughly enjoyed every chapter. It was very encouraging to know that there is no reason that I can't stand up for my faith and be successful at it as well. The author gives great tips on how to respond to many different and common arguments against the Christianity. It was very difficult for me to put this book down after I began to read it. I would recommend it to anyone.

Summary: Matt Moyers review for How to stay a Christian in College
Comment: I think this book was an excellent guide for a Christian who goes to a secular college or even a Christian college. This book tells the truth of how college really is and how to deal with the issue. I think that this book is honest and trustworthy book in telling the reader what college is like. I would definitely recommend this book to Christians who need help in defending their faith, because in college there will be people who will question and disagree with your faith and I need to be ready to stand up for what I believe in. This book talks a lot about the myth of the search for knowledge, love, sex, and politics. All of these myths are important to the young people who want to go to college. Most importantly this book has helped me in my walk with God and Jesus Christ. It tells me about the different religions that are on the college campus today. I really feel that this book has sharpened my faith in God's Holy Word. I am excited that I was able to read this great edge of your seat thriller, and share it with my Christian and non-Christian friends. Finally, I learned a lot from this book and I look forward to using it in the years to come. --Matt Moyer
