Story Behind the Book
"Beginning my freshman year in college, God began drawing my heart to His. That spring, I trusted Christ as Lord and Savior and latched on to His journey. As an avid reader and eager Christian, I anxiously sought any material on faith-related topics. More specifically, I was craving material from people in my stage of life. It became quickly apparent, however, that collegiate voices had been overlooked, or at least left untold. This seemed a dangerous void. So with God's provision, I setout to write a book that would tell the stories of common struggles Christians face in college everywhere. Thus began the vision of "Can You Keep Your Faith in College." " -- Abbie Smith
