University of Destruction: Your Game Plan for Spiritual Victory on Campus

by David Wheaton

Overview

The statistic is staggering: Fifty percent of Christian college students lose their faith--or at least have made it a low priority--by the time they graduate.With a fresh voice and a conversational style, author David Wheaton explores the three pillars of peril--sex, drugs, and rebellion--most often encountered by college students. He then offers students advice on developing a game plan to avoid the spiritual pitfalls. While the temptations and influences may still be there, students following these practical tips will find that a university of instruction does not have to become a university of destruction.

Editorial Reviews

"This book will help students stay in the center of their Christian faith in college!"

Sean Hannity

"David Wheaton provides a useful guide to young Christians who want to use biblical guidelines to overcome the most negative elements of academia and youth culture."
—Nationally Syndicated Radio Host

Michael Medved

"Young people entering college often encounter overwhelming temptations while being force-fed with godless philosophies--and the results can be spiritually catastrophic. University of Destruction outlines essential practical and biblical principles that will equip students for the inevitable spiritual battle they will face on campus."
—bestselling author, pastor of Grace Community Church, and featured teacher of the daily radio broadcast Grace to You

John MacArthur

"If colleges came with warning labels, they would probably look something like this book... If you are looking for a book that will enable you to overcome the adversities of college life, read your Bible. If you are looking for encouragement to follow that Biblical advice and further instruction in discernment and maturity, the University of Destruction is an excellent choice."

Susan Hammond

"Throughout the book Wheaton continually refers the student to the Bible, affirming the power and supremacy of the Scriptures. His teaching is consistent with historical Protestantism and will surely reap great benefits in the lives of those who read and heed his teachings. He is deliberate in showing that the greatest sin on campus is not the acts themselves, but the erosion of Christian worldview, without which there is no authority, no right or wrong.

This is a book I would not hesitate to provide as a gift for any student who is planning on attending college. It would be an excellent title for the student to read and study with his parents. I definitely recommend it."
