Amazing grace

Bulging mailbags bring some good news | Marvin Olasky

A month ago, when I asked readers to send in letters about college experiences, I expected we would get a couple of dozen.

Instead, we received a couple of hundred. Next week we'll look at some of the negative letters about Christian colleges, but our Mailbag page this week celebrates the positive, and we are glad to see many institutions praised.

On this page I will attempt to summarize the two main themes of the many letters about life in non-Christian academic settings: (1) it's tough, and (2) God's grace is alive.

Letter writers such as Thomas Cobb, Ann Bailes, and Steven Costello noted that Christian students at non-Christian colleges are the recipients of pro-abortion, pro-sexual-immorality, and politically leftist propaganda and pressure.
