In Keeping Your Faith in College, Abbie Smith addresses a need that has been ignored for too long by the local church. Every high school senior and college freshman should read this book.

Senior Pastor, North Point Community Church

This is an excellent book—down to earth, focused and real. It is also a fun book to read. It provides practical help from college-aged men and women who are in the process of experiencing the vital issues of life and faith.

What an interesting and helpful treatment of an important subject! As the author says, “The transition to college should not be taken lightly. It is one of the biggest points of change in our entire lives.” One student says, “Peer pressure, fear, and pride slowly molded my beliefs and identity into various lies and deception.” These students’ personal accounts bring out the challenges and the keys to overcome and grow through these challenges. I highly recommend it!

Dr. Frank M. Barker, Jr.
Pastor Emeritus, Briarwood Presbyterian Church

What will a Christian at a secular college have to deal with? The students who speak in this book will tell you, fresh from the experiences that molded them. They talk frankly about dorm life, peer pressure, academics and dating. They tell about how they found fellowship, developed habits of obedience, learned to minister and lead—all in a culture that at first seemed antithetical to all they believed.

These are real voices telling of their struggles and successes in the first person. They give a vivid picture of what it means to be a witnessing community on campus. Abbie Smith has done a great service for high school students, parents and guidance counselors by letting us hear directly from students who walk the campus world by faith.

Keeping Your Faith in College is a brilliant idea for a book and a huge challenge for any Believer in the university scene. I love Abbie Smith’s vision for this resource and believe students are going to be encouraged and challenged by the stories of God’s faithfulness from campuses across the nation.

Keeping Your Faith in College explores the difficult times a college student faces as he/she enters a new world away from the influence of their home and church. Keeping Your Faith in College takes the experiences of college students and how they faced the challenges and temptations of life on campus. Young people going off to college or already in the midst of their college life will gain great insight and wisdom from reading these real life incidents and how students of faith handled some difficult times. Abbie Smith has utilized her experience and been open in sharing the truths in a manner that should help students presently on campus or entering college to better face the opportunities, trials and experiences of everyday college pressure and life.
