ABOUT THE BOOK

YOU’RE NOT CRAZY… SOMETHING REALLY IS WRONG, AND THE ANSWER TO REVERSING IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN IN FRONT OF YOU Christian families have been sending their children into a spiritual meat grinder known as “college” for decades, wondering why most of their kids graduate hating their parents’ beliefs. Through spending nearly 20 years in the world of higher education as a student, staff, and campus minister, C. Philip Carlson discovered why this is happening, and why American churches are hemorrhaging the next generation. Through reflection on his own experiences in higher education, conversations with professors, examination of historical movements, and engagement with Scriptural ideas, Philip not only pulls back the curtain on what has been happening in higher education, but also what we can all do about it. He also shares why discipleship properly defined and practiced in the home and the workplace is the front line of changing these trends. Whether you are a parent of a current, future or past university student, an interested family member, or just interested in what has been happening and how to respond, you will find practical steps here on how to address it.
