Review of "Why College Matters to God"

Finished up my former colleague Rick Ostrander's "Why College Matters to God." It's an updated and much refined version of a course pack he (and others) had put together for our Gateway to Christian Scholarship course. It's a really first-rate summation of the general thinking in Christian circles about why college matters and what students should be attempting to accomplish in their time in college. The real test for me is that I kept thinking throughout the book, "dang, why wasn't there something like this for me when I was student in college?" It's a great way to introduce students to the whole Christian college experience, and hopefully some of our parents and alums will read it as well?
