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.
Donald Drew
Dr. Donald J. Drew studied at Cambridge and was President of the Christian Union. He worked with Francis Schaeffer at L'Abri for six years. He has taught English, spoken in many different countries and is still involved with students at L'Abri.

The letters ‘ are very well written and he very appropriately uses references to his own experiences, to literary sources and to the natural world. He also has a good sense of humour. This book would make a very suitable gift for a young Christian just starting at university, or already in the midst of a university course.'
I had his wisdom as my mentor when I was a schoolboy... cuts straight to the core of so many key spiritual issues, yet it does so in a delightfully sympathetic way.

... 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.
It was really helpful... three years of a student's experience with all its issues, thoughts and problems.
