A graduate of Marquette University, Colleen Campbell traveled the country researching and writing about a little-noticed trend that had attracted her attention: The appeal of traditional religion and morality among a growing number of young Americans. The result of her research was a book published to strong sales and critical acclaim, The New Faithful: Why Young Adults Are Embracing Christian Orthodoxy (Loyola Press, 2002). The New Faithful has been featured in nearly 100 magazines and newspapers.
