As in the first book, Ask Me Anything by J. Budziszewski (aka Professor Theophilus) gives reasoned, direct, thoughtful Christian answers to the most difficult questions students (and all of us) face in today’s world.
Four sections in the book are Learning to Think Stuff, College Relationships Stuff, Fleeing From God Stuff and Fleeing Toward God Stuff. In the first section he details how to handle “angry and opinionated” professors. He suggests responses such as “Professor, filthiness is not an argument.” And “How do sarcastic remarks prove your case?” and “An insult is not an argument.” P38
As in the first book he tackles the difficult relationships this time dealing with issues of college room mates, living with the opposite sex and remaining chaste (not a good idea) and breaking up. In the fleeing from God section he demonstrates and states “there is no such thing as neutrality… You live either as though there were a God, or as though there weren’t.” p113 Every chapter will speak to students about the issues they face and the questions they have and will help them think logically and Christianly about their own life and circumstances.

Great for all those questions you want to know about how Christianity views dilemmas and the world. Great for the young crowd in college or those pondering life issues and don't mind delving into the Christian perspective.
