The stress and culture of today's college scene does not seem to
lend itself to the peace of a traditional church-but this
collection of essays illustrates how spirituality not only
survives, but thrives in such circumstances. For the twenty-one
young adults who contribute to this volume, educational and
spiritual development are intertwined; faith was crucial to their
college experience. Through deeply reflective personal narratives,
these essays uphold the spirit of wrestling with faith as a means
for growth, as each author shares how they confronted the role of
religion in college and emerged with a profound understanding of
how it fundamentally shaped them. Kissing in the Chapel, Praying in
the Frathouse covers the extremes of the college experience-the
hilarious, the troubling, and everything in between-as told by
emerging young voices at a time when writing about college students
comes largely from generalized, external points of view. The
stories contained within dispel the myth that members of the
Millennial Generation are universally lazy and apathetic; they
clearly demonstrate the self-awareness and empathy of their authors
as they embark on the path of lifelong spiritual growth. Not ones
to live life halfway, these essays open up new possibilities to
those struggling with faith in any context, and are certain to
encourage reflection and introspection in any reader.
