How To Stay A Christian In College

I am reading this book, it's by J.Budziszewski if anyone wants to read it, and it not only gives good advice for college but also advice that you could use everyday.
What I really like about the book is that it relates it's advice to the Gospel even in the smallest ways. Some quotes from it:

"The only firm rock in all this shifting sand is Jesus Christ. Hold on to Him, hold on to His Word, hold on to your partners in faith and you'll be okay."

In one of the chapters it talks about sharing your faith. I am not going to type everything out because 1) that's a lot and 2) I would rather you read it yourself =]
"Pray for a chance to share your faith....Pray to be ready to share your faith...Pray for discretion in sharing your faith...Pray for words to share your faith....Pray for patience to listen as you share...Pray for God to prepare your friend's heart and mind...Pray to thank God for the opportunity to glorify His name"

"Don't talk the walk, unless you walk the walk"

I'll have more as I keep reading the book.

I just wanted you to know I read the book when I started college and it was a life saver. Keep trusting God.
