Product Description

From the Inside Flap

"As fresh as its title, this is a brilliant introduction to student life, in accessible, daily bite-size chunks of Christian wisdom. Down to earth and thoroughly realistic, its focus is 100% Biblical and its tone positive and up-beat, full of practical tips and encouragement. Every Christian student needs to read it!"

David Jackman, President, The Proclamation Trust

"Fresh is quite unlike anything I have read before. I remember expressing frustration at the lack of good books aimed at the student market two years ago and I think my prayers have now been answered. Krish has touched on every challenge facing Christian students today with grace, wisdom, humour and great biblical insight."

Will Van der Hart, Associate Vicar, St Mary's Bryanston Square, London

From the Back Cover

'Fresh gives new students tremendous Biblical, Gospel centred and practical wisdom to help them navigate through their first few weeks of university. I would recommend it to any first year student.'
Tim Rudge, UCCF Field Director

David Jackman, President, The Proclamation Trust

'After years as a student followed by more in ministry to students I am now a parent of one - so, from every angle I can tell you this is a vital book for all Christians going to uni. Buy the coffee mugs and rail card if you like - but whatever you buy, get this book'
Nick Pollard, co-founder of Damaris Trust

'University kicks off with a whole spectrum of choices, decisions and adventures. FRESH will help you make the right ones...'
Andy Frost, director of Share Jesus International

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect leaving gift 8 Dec 2008
Format:Paperback
The perfect gift to give that individual in your church who is off to university. Having worked with students (myself included!) for many years, Krish is eminently qualified to write this funny, practical, biblical guide to university life. The book is meant to be read a chapter-a-day over about a month. It's split into 5 sections that cover the biggest challenges of university life: Faith, Relationships, Evangelism, Study and Holiness. Good stuff!

Format:Paperback
Leaving school and going to university can be a traumatic experience. For some, it is a liberation from the perceived shackles of a restrictive school environment. For others, it is a time when they feel lonely and isolated, missing the easy intimacy of school life and the day-to-day supervision of concerned teachers.

For those who have maintained a Christian profession at school, the transition is sometimes even more difficult. There will be strong pressure to compromise or abandon Christian convictions. This may come in the form of ridicule in academic departments or social incentives to "do what everybody else does" regardless of whether or not it is consistent with Christian standards of behaviour.

Students facing this difficult transition may take heart from reading a recently published book by Krish Kandiah. The book is entitled "Fresh" (several puns intended there) and it is published by IVP. Krish writes from experience as one who became a Christian at school and then went on to be President of the Christian Union at Warwick University. He is a highly effective communicator with young people, and much in demand as a leader of university missions, in addition to his day job in a senior post at the Evangelical Alliance.

The book claims to provide "Bite-sized inspiration for new students". That is exactly what it does, introducing and applying a considerable amount of well-chosen scripture in the process. I recommend this book very warmly to all prospective students

5.0 out of 5 stars Get Fresh - not just for the weekend! 25 Jun 2008
Format:Paperback
Faith, Relationships, Evangelism, Study and Holiness are the keys for a successful time at University. Krish Kandiash's book gives clear, practical advice to students who are about to embark on 3/4 years at University.
This book will equip you and also stretch you as you go off to the world of academia. Apart from your mum's jam and clean socks this is an essential item, GET IT!
