Publisher's Description
The statistic is staggering: Fifty percent of Christian college students lose their faith--or at least have made it a low priority--by the time they graduate. With a fresh voice and a conversational style, author David Wheaton explores the three pillars of peril--sex, drugs, and rebellion--most often encountered by college students. He then offers students advice on developing a game plan to avoid the spiritual pitfalls. While the temptations and influences may still be there, students following these practical tips will find that a university of instruction does not have to become a university of destruction.

“If Daniel needed to be prepared before embarking on his ‘higher education’ (Daniel 1), every Christian teenager thinking of ‘higher education’ also needs preparation. Mr. Wheaton covers nearly every area one must ponder and understand before such embarkment. Highly recommended. . . .”
“David Wheaton’s book exposes an important problem for Christian students and their parents to consider when shopping for college: Should they follow the crowd and send their child off to a secular university where the predominate worldview is incompatible and hostile toward the Christian faith, or should they send them to a church-related college where faculty may cause them to question the essentials of the faith? Wheaton’s suggestion to be prepared for the mental and emotional struggle that college students will encounter in this battle for the Christian worldview is the best option. I would recommend teens and their parents read this book before becoming enamored with the secular universities of this country that do not respect the Christian beliefs and lifestyle. And then I would recommend they consider a Christ-centered college where faculty and staff integrate the Christian faith into all areas of academic and residential life, because it is there that the faith is nourished and grows.”
“Praise for University of Destruction “David Wheaton provides a useful guide to young Christians who want to use biblical guidelines to overcome the most negative elements of academia and youth culture.”
