college students' faith and well-being on campus, and then gives students

Ready for College: Everything You Need to Know (by Michael Francis Pennock,
Sorin Books/Ave Maria Press, 1997/2005
rev.) is a basic guidebook about the transition from high school to a new
life on a college campus. This book is also helpful by providing a spiritual dimension that
encourages college students to develop an ongoing relationship with Jesus
through the practice of their faith and maintain a spritual
fitness based on the values taught by their familes
and churches. |

Losing Your Religion,
Finding Your Faith: Spirituality for Young Adults (by Fr. Brett C. Hoover, Paulist Press, 1998) is a great read for any college students
who strugle with their faith. According to Fr. Brett Hoover, losing one's religion is just a part
of our growth process, but what really defines us is the real challenge to
find a vibrant, honest, and relevant adult appreciation of faith and belief.
On a college campus, this is a great resource when questions and doubt arise.
