Summary: Every Christian going off to college should have & read ofte
Review: I give every young person from our church off to college this book in the hopes it will begin to open their eyes to the truth that will be shortly challenged at most colleges and universities --- absolute truth. Sire does an admirable job of Chris' college life of the temptations and protections against the "ism's" of relativism, individualism and pluralism." One might add consumerism and postmodernism to this list. Maybe Sire will in a rewrite. This book is winsome! Put it into the hands of the college students you know, or get and read it if you're now there.

Summary: Philosophy for beginners-how to read it without boredom
Review: Sire establishes a literary style that lets average readers consider complex philosophical issues while reading a story about a diverse bunch of students facing the ideological challenges found in most university campuses. A great read for those who don't like philosophy, but still want to know about it.

Summary: Absolutely a Great Book (Excuse the pun)
Review: This book does an excellent job of both explaining and reacting to the *isms of the world. Sire manages to not only explain the *isms in understandable terms, he makes it interesting by using a realistic life example: going to a secular college. The book is held together by the thoughts and dialogue of Chris Chrisman and unexpected counterpart: Bob Wong. Both characters are students that go into college with opposite convictions, and through a set of similar circumstances, they both begin to doubt and question their beliefs. The book uses their circumstances to teach the reader about relativism, pluralism, individualism and more. Sire uses easy to understand logic and philosophy coupled with the each situation to convey the the truth: that there are absolutes. The book would make a great graduation gift for a friend or family member that will be going off to college.

Summary: Understanding the aspects of being a strong Christian
Review: This book surely applied the need of help and suppport to those Christians who are facing ideological challenge. This is also suitable to those who want to understand and know the difference between Christianity and other religions. Any individual who questions themselves about being a believer of a religion whether they're in college or in a diverse religious environment, I would like to recommend this book to those who thinks it's nesscessary for them to understand about the aspects. It could turn oneself to be a stronger Christian.
