Product Description

Book Description

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.

From the Inside Flap

"The perfect book to help students stay in the center of their Christian faith during college!"--Sean Hannity, cohost of TV's Hannity and Colmes, host of radio's The Sean Hannity Show, and bestselling author of Deliver Us From Evil

"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."--Michael Medved, Nationally Syndicated Radio Host

"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." --Dr. John MacArthur, bestselling author, pastor of Grace Community Church, and featured teacher of the daily radio broadcast Grace to You

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally! A Practical Gift for the High School Graduate!, May 20 2005
By Robert W. Kellemen "Doc. K." - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: University of Destruction: Your Game Plan for Spiritual Victory on Campus (Paperback)
What to buy that high school graduate who is a Christian? If the answer is, "Buy him/her a book," until now the option had been limited to saccharin, shallow devotional guides. With David Wheaton's "University of Destruction: Your Game Plan for Spiritual Victory on Campus," there is now an option that is relevant, penetrating, and practical.

Author David Wheaton has "been there, done that." From his own experience on the campus of Stanford University, from his research, and from his interaction with 1000s of young people, Wheaton has distilled three "Pillars of Peril" for the Christian on the college campus: sex, alcohol/drugs, and humanism. After identifying the perils, Wheaton creatively offers realistic guidelines for raising the college spiritual GPA in order to become a victorious Christian on campus.

Wheaton demonstrates his insight by not stopping at the "body sins" of college campus--sex, drugs, and alcohol. For the deepest, ongoing college peril is the "mental sin" or "faith sin" of the deconstruction of belief that systematically occurs on secular college campuses.

You know that a book is solid when both Sean Hannity and Dr. John MacArthur recommend it. They're correct. "University of Destruction" is an excellent gift not only for the high school graduate, but for her/his parents.

Reviewer: Robert W. Kellemen, Ph.D., is the author of "Soul Physicians" and "Spiritual Friends." He is also the parent of a college junior on an elite secular college campus and the parent of a high school senior headed to an elite college.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book!, April 30 2005

This review is from: University of Destruction: Your Game Plan for Spiritual Victory on Campus (Paperback)
I could have used a mentor like this when I was a young adult! I am a parent of a high schooler and highly recommend this book. David does an excellent job of preparing the reader for the temptations of "Sodom" found on many college campuses (and many high school campuses as well). He teaches the reader how avoid the temptations by establishing the habits of a godly lifestyle. This book would be very helpful for any young adult ready to go out on his/her own, college bound or not. The same temptations are there in and out of college.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must Read for Incoming College Freshmen, Aug 14 2005
By Mike Yorkey - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: University of Destruction: Your Game Plan for Spiritual Victory on Campus (Paperback)
I wish I had read this book years ago when I was a college freshman; David Wheaton's excellent book would have saved me from a lot of emotional pain and heartache from broken relationships and "youthful" behavior. Alas, today's college and high school students can greatly benefit from David's insights, experiences, and advice on how to navigate the difficult transition from high school to college. As I was reading along, nodding my head in agreement, I thought one thing was missing from this book: more about David's experiences at Stanford University. But he was saving that part to the end, and what a powerful finish!
