Are you ready?
There is a lot to do in getting prepared for college, not counting the hours you spend choosing the right school. There are endless forms to fill out. Trunks and suitcases to pack. Families and friends to kiss goodbye. Roommates to choose. Lines to stand in. Courses to select ("One from column A, two from column B, and one from column C, unless you’re taking English 101 on Thursday afternoons, in which case you must, instead, choose two from column A, one from . . .!”) OK, so you think you’re ready for that. But as a Christian student, are you really ready? Are you ready to deal with a brilliant professor who considers the Bible to be a good piece of fiction? Are you ready for a graduate student who doesn’t believe in God, and is openly hostile toward those who do? Are you ready for the temptations of being with a friend who encourages you to do things you know you shouldn’t? If you think you could use a survival manual for that kind of "battle,” this book has been written for you. It will not only help you to crystallize what you should think and believe, it will also help you to know how to think. Solidly. Biblically. This book will even help you learn how to articulate your faith in a way that is clear to even the most quarrelsome opponent. Surviving College Successfully will also help you get better grades. It is the accumulation of over twenty years of experience of what works and what doesn’t work in college and graduate courses. Some books tell you to "study harder.” This book will show you how to study smarter. Gary DeMar knows that what you really want is to finish college with good grades, a good education, and a good experience. This book will help you to do just that. Gary DeMar knows that you also want to have the ability to transform your world for Jesus Christ. This book is a great place to start. |
