Читать книгу Look—I Am With You - Dale Goldsmith - Страница 8

Every book has a story behind it. The story for this volume began long ago when, as an undergraduate far from my home church, regular (or at least intermittent) Bible study became a fruitful source of stability in the swirling chaos of an unexpectedly challenging college experience. As my time in college extended into a career as teacher and academic dean in college settings, the conviction grew that Scripture could be a source for making sense out of the American college experience—especially for helping individuals grow in faith, sort the “wheat from the chaff,” and make sense out of the always new and often bewildering complexity of “going to college.”

I am convinced that Scripture brings us as close to Jesus, the Lord and Teacher, as we are likely to get in this lifetime. My hope is that judicious, prayerful, and diligent openness to the Scripture and the meditations in this book will prove useful to students in navigating the sometimes-rough waters of academia.

Finally, no one has been a better teacher and practitioner of Scripture than my wife Katy, whose own engagement and application of Scripture began on the campuses where she studied and taught. There is no one to whom I owe more.
