Letters to a Student
Encouraging Words from a Christian Mentor
Donald Drew
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.

Christian Focus
Aims for Christian integrity without ever being simplistic or legalistic. ... radiates an atmosphere of cultured humanity, kindness, hope and respect - which is just what is needed today.
It really does read easily and enjoyably.
‘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.'
Not a trace of paternalism, just a warm, humorous style spiced with wisdom and affection... irresistible reading.'
