Walking with Jesus on Campus, by Stephen Kellough

Stephen Kellough was campus chaplain at Wheaton College for 25 years.  Based on his lengthy experience of meeting, discipling, and counseling college kids, he has written Walking with Jesus on Campus: How to Care for Your Soul During College.  Kellough's passion for college kids, love of the scriptures, and heart to build disciples come through in this practical, pastoral book.

Kellough covers topics that many--all?--college students deal with from time to time.  Some are quite obvious.  Every campus, from small Christian colleges to large state universities, are full of young people ready to explore their sexuality.  Kellough offers biblical guidance on that hot topic.  The strongest, and perhaps most important chapters, deal with perfectionism, depression, self-worth, and serving others.  Kellough challenges students to find their worth in Jesus and in service to others. 

With a warm, pastoral tone, Kellough describes his own experiences with college students, provides scriptural illustrations, and offers plenty of opportunity to personalize and reflect on his message.  It's the voice of a warm, caring presence who must have had a huge impact on the lives of individual students and on the spiritual environment of the Wheaton campus.  Walking with Jesus on Campus is a helpful sourcebook for college students and those who care about their spiritual growth.
