“Wow! What a book!! Quite frankly, this is the book I’ve been waiting for the last forty years to give to college students. It is the single best volume I have ever read for preparing students for how to follow Jesus and flourish as his disciple in college. Welcome to College is very readable, the chapters are short yet filled with content, it covers apologetic, biblical, social and moral issues, and it provides critical information that is right to the point. Every parent with a child in or going to college should read this book. Adults should give it as a high school graduation present to every young believer they know. Youth directors need to know the content of this book and recommend it widely. And parachurch ministries like Campus Crusade, InterVarsity, and Navigators should make this a top priority for all staff and students to study. Morrow is to be thanked for writing Welcome to College for such a time as this.”

(From Back Cover) What will you do with your life? What a huge, frightening question! In college, whether you know it or not, you answer this question every day with each decision. That's why it's important to know how you will handle college before you find yourself in the thick of it. College, full of new friends and experiences, is a time that will shape your future.
How do you grow spiritually? How do you share your faith in a hostile environment? How do you manage your timeso that you can study and have fun? Is all truth relative? Are there good reasons to be a Christian? What about Alcohol? As a Christian, how should you view issues like dating and sex?
Jonathan Morrow tackles these questions and other tough issues that arise during the college years. Grounded in his own expereince as well as biblical truth, Morrow writes quick, easy-to-read chapters packed with good advice. Each chapter is summarized into "big ideas" and includes a hand list of related resources.

| Christianity and Non-Empirical Knowledge (i.e., beyond the five senses) |
|
"We tend to think that we can't know something unless it's able to be tested by the five senses. But is this the only way to figure out if we know something? Dr. Moreland says "no." In fact, he shows us that we know a lot of things that we are unable to empirically test."
This is a very helpful and important short article for Christians.
(Excerpt from the article)
Various Kinds of Knowledge
In my last article, we looked at the nature of knowledge and we defined it in this way:
To represent (i.e., experience or think about) reality the way it really is on the basis of adequate grounds, on a solid basis of evidence, experience, intuition, testimony and so forth. We also saw that there are three different
kinds of knowledge:
Knowledge by acquaintance: This happens when we are directly aware of something, (e.g., when I see an apple directly before me or pay attention to my inner feelings, I know these things by acquaintance).
Propositional knowledge: This is knowledge that an entire proposition is true. Propositional knowledge is justified true belief; it is believing something that is true on the basis of adequate grounds.
Know-how: This is the ability or skill, usually based on the other two sorts of knowledge, to do certain things (e.g., to use apples for certain purposes). (MORE...)
