Synopsis

“From the perspective of a parent with college-age children, I thank Abby Nye for confronting us so boldly with the reality of what Christian students face in the secular world of academia. Children need to be prepared for this experience — or they need to avoid it” —Joseph Farah, editor and C.E.O., WorldNewDaily.com

So you’re ready for the next chapter in your life?.
