Students in college, especially during the first year, are confronted with all sorts of troublesome adjustments, from challenges in the classroom to conflicts in the dorm room. In A Heart for Truth, Greg Spencer looks at the common struggles of college students-whether on a secular or Christian campus-and offers empathetic "I've been there" advice.

Spencer's witty but well-grounded writing suggests a compelling vision for collegiate survival. Based solidly on scriptural principles, his advice is practical and motivating. He explores topics such as the culture shock of college life, crises in identity and relationships, and what it means to love God with the mind. He hopes to encourage college students to have a heart for truth, living out their faith wherever they go.

Greg Spencer is department chair of communication studies at Westmont College, Santa Barbara, California. He has also been involved in various campus ministries, including InterVarsity Christian Fellowship and Young Life.
