RC Sproul recommended book for young believers going to college

Heard about this book in lecture series from RC Sproul on Defending Your Faith, An overview of Classical Apologetics. Sproul is so deeply familiar with the other side, since he was a strong atheist and well read in the philosophies of western literature. His sound minded approach is a breath of fresh air for those of us who want to LOVE God with all of our minds as well as our hearts. A question was asked: Which 3 books will you recommend for a young believer going to College. Answers included this book with the following summary from www.ligonier.org: "The church of Jesus Christ has always had to deal with enemies that would claim her beliefs are groundless. However, as believers well know, the Christian faith is not a blind leap into the dark but is rather supported by many historical and philosophical evidences. In this book, the late Dr. John H. Gerstner addresses many of the objections that are offered against the Christian faith. Standing in the proud tradition of classical apologists, Dr. Gerstner gives proofs for the existence of God, answers objections from science and philosophy, and shows how the miracles, prophecies, and archaeology of the Bible all contribute to our confidence in the truth of the Christian faith." Also, recommended were FF Bruce's book on New Testament trustworthy documents and RC Sproul's Reason to Believe.
