<DIV><B>Behind the scenes at Patrick Henry College: &ldquo;A deft and honest narrative of evangelical education&#160;.&#160;.&#160;.&#160;historical background, close observation and skeptical wit&rdquo; (<I>Publishers Weekly</I>).</B><BR /><BR /> One of the <I>Christian Science Monitor</I>&rsquo;s annual &ldquo;Books We Liked Best&rdquo;<BR /> &#160;<BR /> Take a walk down the halls and into the dorms and hearts of tiny Patrick Henry College, a Christian school just outside the nation&rsquo;s capital, where ambitious young evangelicals are groomed to become tomorrow&rsquo;s conservative elite. The future front lines of politics, entertainment, and science will be commanded by these idealistic graduates, who plan to lead the battle in reclaiming a godless nation.<BR /> &#160;<BR /><I>God&rsquo;s Harvard</I> reveals the evangelical movement at a moment of crisis and climax, its future leaders struggling to resist the temptations of modern life even as they try to remake the world in their image. This is a vibrant, insightful look at kids who may very well be in charge of our country one day.<BR /> &#160;<BR /> &ldquo;A rare accomplishment for many reasons&mdash;perhaps most of all because Rosin is a journalist who not only reports but also observes deeply.&rdquo; &mdash;<I>San Francisco Chronicle</I><BR /> &#160;<BR /> &ldquo;Rosin is at her best when chronicling sympathetically the lives of these young evangelicals, as ambitious as their secular peers but single-minded in their focus on politics.&rdquo; &mdash;<I>Chicago Tribune</I><BR /> &#160;<BR /> &ldquo;Nuanced and highly readable&#160;.&#160;.&#160;. With her feisty, richly detailed prose.&rdquo; &mdash;<I>The Washington Post</I></DIV>
