Since 2000, America??s most ambitious young evangelicals have been making their way to Patrick Henry College in Virginia, a small Christian school that has earned the nickname ??God??s Harvard.? Most of these students are homeschoolers whose idealism and discipline put the average American teenager to shame. The school grooms them to become the Christian elite of tomorrow, dispatching them to the front lines of politics, entertainment, and science to wage the battle to take back a godless nation. Hanna Rosin spent a year and a half following these students from campus to Congress, conservative think tanks, Hollywood, and other centers of influence. Her account captures a nerve center of the evangelical movement at a moment of maximum influence and also crisis, as it struggles to remake the modern world in it… (mere)

Totally disappointed that the information on the school and its students weren't written about without bias and obvious patronizing condescension.

She poked fun at homeschoolers, Christians, Conservatives and everything that obviously doesn't fit her own opinion. Little House on the Prairie, whitewashed brains,and every Christian goes online to look up opinions.

This book was nothing more than a long version of a second rate op-ed. Such a waste of paper. Thankfully I borrowed it from the library, otherwise I would have put it to good use as kindle.

I wanted to learn more about the school and what I learned was the opinion of the author.

Patrick Henry University - breeding place for the next conservative government -- at least, that's the plan. The students there are determined, driven, and intend to change the course of current American politics and government.

I found this book to be very informative and in some ways entertaining -- but really, a little bit depressing. I am a conservative myself, but I can't quite countenance the extreme idea(l)s driven into the student's every cell. The intention of the founder seems to me to be a good one, but he seems to have gone way over the edge in protecting his students from the evil ways of the world.

That said, the education itself seems fairly good, given the good internships these kids seem to obtain. But I question whether or not any of the graduates have a balanced enough experience of and view of life as it really is, sex, rock and roll, TV, homosexuality, miniskirts and all, to be truly able to change the country. In the end, I almost hope they don't succeed in doing so.

Very interesting look into Patrick Henry College, the institution of higher education that was formed with the intent of shaping conservative leaders for political advancement in Washington DC. The author served as religion reporter for The Washington Post, so she has professional credentials but be warned that there are times when her personal views insert themselves in her handling of the subject. Still its a worthwhile and thought-provoking read. ( )

God's Harvard recounts Hanna Rosin's experiences at Patrick Henry College, an evangelical Christian school with an emphasis on careers in politics. I was expecting something along the lines of Bob Jones University, but most of the staff and students from PHC come across as being very intelligent and self-aware as Rosin writes them. This is not a book intended to mock the evangelical Christian right, only to explore their fascinating and minority lifestyles. A good read ( )
