Belovedness : Finding God And Self On Campus

Straight talk for college students: campus life, decisions, and relationships are explored using one important question: what if I really believed that I was beloved beyond all measure?

This thought-provoking book for college students deals with issues of faith, identity, sex, success, failure, and everything in between, through the concept of belovedness. Every student’s story is different, they have the same questions in common. Who am I? How do I make good choices? What does it mean to be successful? How do I navigate changing relationships with my family, my peers, my significant other? And how do I do all of this faithfully while in college? All of these issues are approached through fundamental questions: “What if I really, truly believed that I was beloved beyond all measure? How would that influence who I become and what I do?” Along with the authors, eight campus ministers from across several denominations contributed to this volume to help students navigate questions of life and faith in the world of high-pressure college campuses. Telling it like it is with wit and wisdom drawn from scripture, tradition, and life experience, this book offers profound and practical reminders of what it is to be beloved.
