Written in the form of letters addressed to his daughter who began her freshman year at UNC, Michael Kruger answers some of the major attacks on the Christian faith.
As parents we try to prepare our students to enter college/adult life. If we are attentive, we’re probably pretty good in 2 of the 3 areas our children need preparation. We’ve probably counseled them as much as we can concerning being responsible – that’s good. We’ve probably counseled them as much as we can concerning being ready to enter a world and culture that is anti-God, anti-Bible, anti-Christianity – at least I hope we are.
Where we may have dropped the ball, as Kruger shares, is preparing our children for the intellectual arguments against the faith they are sure to encounter. Truly, in our day, whether you arrive on a secular college campus or not, we will all encounter these arguments against the faith in some arena, at some level.
Surviving Religion 101 will not only equip us with answers, but as the title says, it will help us survive and keep the faith when the faith is under assault.

You may not find much interest in reading a book on the Lord's Prayer in Matthew 6:9-13. After all the prayer is very familiar. You can probably recite it from memory. You may even repeat it as your own prayer at times. More than likely you've...[ abbreviated | read entire ]
