They Want Conversations


Click for a complete index *Click here to order Conversations.*	Students are asking . . . How can I succeed in school? What job is right for me? Where is God when I'm hurting? Can I believe in God and science? Does God know I exist? Who Will Answer Them?
What Is Conversations? While most college students receive a view of the world from their professors which does not include a life of faith, through Conversations, a multimedia computer CD, students will meet professors who present a different perspective on the issues they care about.
		As students explore Conversations they will get real help for school and life after school from experts in learning and job placement, such as Dr. Walter Bradley (left) a professor for 32 years and president of Success4Students.
But as students dig deeper, they will find intelligent men and women—professors who believe in God and live a life of faith—addressing many life issues confronting students today. These are men and women who care about students, study the issues and speak from personal experience. Conversations emulates the dialogue students have with their professors on life issues. It has been designed with today's students in mind: the CD allows students to personalize their experience and find help for their lives right where they are. Conversations will give searching students real, personal answers to pressing issues. It is not designed to entertain students, but to present professors as real people who have faced life's difficult challenges. However, there are a few surprises inside.
