Life on campuses or the 21st Century can be a very challenging experience for the young Christian. Amongst competing belief systems it can seem the only one absent is orthodox, evangelical Christianity Then there are the practical concerns and temptations...for the parent and student alike it is a daunting prospect.
Letters to a student, by Dr Donald Drew is a series of letters from an old friend to a student giving advice on all sorts of issues, which a student may encounter in their years at college - Freshers Week, Christian Unions, evangelism, doubt, temptation, guidance, marriage, singleness, mountaineering, literature, music, exams, consumerism, and graduating. The tone is similar to Letters to Malcolm, by C.S. Lewis.
Dr. Donald J. Drew studied at Cambridge and was President of the Christian Union. He worked with Francis Schaeffer at L'Abri for six years. He has taught English, spoken in many different countries and is still involved with students at L'Abri.

'It can only be good for students following Jesus to be encouraged and challenged - it really does read easily and enjoyably'
Nick Houston, Student
'They come with the wisdom, care, and encouragement we need to follow Christ in this crazy old world."'
Os Guinness ~ Author and Conference Speaker
'An affectionate uncle and peer at the same time Dr Drew shows how he rests in God and encourages readers to do the same. Very readable!'
Dr Art Lindsley, Senior Fellow C.S. Lewis Institute
‘The intellectual and emotional effort that Drew puts into his letters is impressive and bears witness to his gift of speaking God's word into younger lives. An encouragement to consider the place of godly mentoring in the Christian community, especially for young people, those whose own heart is uncertain,but his brother's is sure.'
Naomi Richardson ‘The Reformed Theological Review 63:2 (August 2004)
The letters ‘ are very well written and he very appropriately uses references to his own experiences, to literary sources and to the natural world. He also has a good sense of humour. This book would make a very suitable gift for a young Christian just starting at university, or already in the midst of a university course.'
Phemie Cromie ‘The Covenanter Witness’ (October 2003)
