Preface

This guide is a resource of tools no Christian college student should be without. It is designed to help today’s student identify, avoid and defeat sin and temptation so they can be faithful to God and be true to the person he has created them to be while maintaining their moral integrity during their college years. This manual is written for everyone who loves the Lord Jesus Christ yet struggles daily in their fight against sin. This book has been written to those who are grieved by how much their sin displeases the Lord, but have a deep desire to be pure for Him. My prayer is that the simple tools discussed will be a helpful aid in your ability to master sin.

Last of all, but certainly not least, my wife, Carol, and sons, Jonathan and Stephen, have been the greatest influences in making me a better person. T.G.B.T.G.

Would she become its slave or it become her cruel master? Would she even survive its wounds? That is yet to be determined, because she is you. She is me!

The above scene is adapted from the book of Genesis in the Bible, specifically from Genesis 4:1-7 which reads:

"Now the man had relations with his wife Eve, and she conceived and
