Prepare for the Challenges Ahead
After studying science as a Christian student at secular university, Patricia Engler backpacked around the world interviewing other Christian students. Those conversations revealed that while the problems students face often vary, the solutions they need are largely the same.
Prepare to Thrive examines the challenges Christian students face and packages the solutions to these problems into a field-tested survival guide for students and parents. Drawing on biblical principles, personal experience, empirical research, and insights from Christian students worldwide, this book offers the top tips students need to thrive.
- Provides vital facts that reveal the alarming realities and agendas of much of modern education.
- Explores strategies to form and maintain an uncompromised Christian worldview built on the foundation of Scripture.
- Offers practical tips and tools for navigating secular universities and thinking through faith-challenging messages.
