Kevin Roose's "The Unlikely Disciple: A Sinner's Semester at America's Holiest University"
From Roose's website: "The Unlikely Disciple is the story of the semester I spent at Liberty University, the Reverend Jerry Falwell’s “Bible Boot Camp” for young evangelicals. Liberty, which is located in Lynchburg, Virginia, is the world’s largest evangelical Christian university – a 10,000-student training ground for the next generation of America’s Religious Right."
Book Excerpt:
"It's midnight at Liberty University, and I'm kneeling on the floor of my dorm room, praying.
"This is not a particularly unusual event. Any night of the week, a quick stroll through Liberty's campus would reveal hundreds of students in the same position, making the same kind of divine appeal . . . "
