Faith for high school and college students

This would be good for those who are this age or woring with kids of this age. I did however find it too much filler.

a MUST-read!

This book is the must-read of the last quarter century for those is the world of higher education and others who strive to live IN the world without being primarilly OF it. Questions of how to live faithfully and critically in today's world are answered with true wisdom. Steven Garber has GOT it RIGHT. I recommend this excitedly to any and all!

A book that is too important not to read.

Steve Garber does an amazing job of asking important questions that are on the minds and hearts of college students and people in their 20's. Garber does not cower or avoid the most difficult questions. Much like Francis Schaeffer before him, Garber gives honest answers to honest questions.It is a great read, and will force the reader to look at themselves and the world around them. The questions tackled in this book have been avoided by most for too long! I cannot over recomend this book, it is terrific!

thought-provoking book on an important topic

As both a person who is wrestling with how to live faithfully and with integrity -- and someone wanting to help college students to do the same--I found Garber's book a rewarding read. His identification of the absolute need for true and deep convictions, mentors whose characters embody these convictions, and life in a community of others wanting to live out these convictions have given me a good starting point in my current thinking on how to knit together thought and action. Garber could have made his book more accessible if he had given more practical ways in which his excellent material could be addressed to average undergraduate students, who on the whole, are not able to absorb Garber's theoretical meditations. Perhaps something for the next edition!
