This review is from: Ask Me Anything: Provocative Answers for College Students (Paperback)

It truly is wonderful. I loved this book so much I bought it for several of my friends during Christmas! I'm very picky with my literature and find alot of Christian books to be repetitious and BORING nowadays.

"ASK ME ANYTHING" does a wonderful job of taking ridiculously tough questions and making them simple enough for highschool kids to grab hold of. And the most amazing part of Budziszewski's approach is that MOST (if not all) of his responses are relatively UNHEARD of.

His reasons to wait till marriage for sex, his beliefs about war and homosexuality are perspectives I've never considered. This book is a MUST BUY for seekers of TRUTH. =)

Budziszewski writes well for those seeking traditional Chrisitan stances on controversial issues such as premarital sex, dating, homosexuality, integrity etc. Although he waxes much on homosexuality, Budziszewski significantly articulates the importance of developing a mature Christian worldview, or way of seeing the world. This would be a great present for recent high school grads.

J knocks another home run with this book. We used it in conjunction with How to Stay a Christian in College for a series of lessons with our Campus Ministry. J delivers real answers to provocative questions. Rather than saying because I told you so, he paints vivid pictures of true Christian world views. As the cover states, no topic is taboo. He hits on relationships and sex, faith on campus, war, homosexuality and other pertinent questions. A must have for any college student, or anyone with a relation to students.
