Campus ministry at a state university or college has its own unique challenges. Both pastors and students can feel intimidated as they contend with hectic schedules, relationships that are sometimes intense, and pressure from their peers. What they need is help. Inter-varsity Press has produced an excellent resource for campus ministry in this volume. It does not discuss a theology of campus ministry, but it does live up to its title of being an "evangelism handbook." It is filled with the "how to's"of sharing God's love on a campus. Tapiahas done a remarkable task of pulling together experienced campus workers who can give the reader the basic tools for beginning such a ministry. Some of the topics covered are: lifestyle evangelism, the search for truth, apologetics as an approach to dialogue with non-Christians, developing a strategy, evangelistic events, how to attract crowds and get Bible studies going, and how to reach your professor with the gospel.
This work is an excellent resource for starting a campus ministry and will serve as an additional help in providing creative ideas to enhance an existing ministry.
