Bold and Clear!

As a high school teacher working with many Christian students, this has been an excellent resource to prep my students for the realities of campus life. I am so thankful for examples like Abby Nye who confront real issues like tolerance, indoctrination, and the politically correct. It's refreshing when there's so much apathy in the classroom. I also appreciate the fact that Abby acknowledges the fear of being different, but she tackles this fear head-on through confidence in Christ. This book has been so helpful that I've recommended it both to my students and in my own book, JumpStart Your Future: A Guide for the College-Bound Christian.

A warning to Christian parents

Abby's book is "must reading" for any Christian parent contemplating sending his/her child off to a secular university. As a Butler Alumnus (B.A., 1978), I was saddened (though not really surprised) to see how narrow-minded and intolerant Butler has become in the nearly 30 years since I attended classes there. My wife and I discovered the hard way the vast difference between the secular and sectarian educational experience. Our oldest daughter attended a large, state school (U. of Texas) and soon abandoned whatever Christian moorings she had prior to matriculating there. Given that experience, we convinced our two younger children to attend a Christian school (Calvin College), and their Christian worldviews were strengthened and nurtured greatly during their 4 years there. I am familiar with the "salt and light" argument for sending one's Christian child to a secular school, but I fear most young people simply lack the spiritual fortitude to resist the pressures they'll meet during their impressionable college years. I admire Abby Nye's strength and courage to meet those challenges, but feel too many of our young kids will become spiritual casualties from such an experience.

Many Christian students find their faith tested upon entering secular universities. Today?s colleges are rife with professors who are not only unbelievers, but who actively mock religion and morality.

With fresh classroom experience, college student Abby Nye details the loss of academic and religious freedoms. Includes tips for dealing with hostile professors, maintaining strong faith and honoring the Lord in one?s academic career.

Perfect for anyone curious as to what?s happening on the college scene today, including high school graduates headed to college, their parents, and college students already swimming in the strong current of campus liberalism.
