Growing in Wisdom

The time in college is such a precious time of freedom and searching for students walking the maze of new ideas and new relationships. This book offers some guidance for those living that college adventure as Christian disciples.""I wish this book had been available before my daughters went away to college. I would have surely placed a copy in their hands. From start to finish, Goldsmith provides a practical guide for believers headed off to ''the new world of the university.'' In addition to being practically minded, his intellectual prowess challenges his readers to rethink their usual categories for higher education. A must-read for every disciple who dares to combine faith and learning.""--Howard K.
