Book Description

TOCCOA FALLS, GEORGIA “Where Character is Developed, with Intellect” DR. R. A. FORREST (about whom this book is written) and the Toccoa Falls Institute are, in a sense, synonymous. He it was who breathed into the school the breath of life; he has been its mainstay throughout its forty-five years of existence; and he is still exerting a guiding and steadying influence in shaping its destiny. For those of you who may first become acquainted with this Christian school through the pages of this book, the following brief resume is presented. THE TOCCOA FALLS INSTITUTE was begun in 1911 to offer educational opportunity to young people who perhaps became Christians after reaching maturity and who desired training to fit them to become Christian workers. Today the school has a four-year high school course, a vocational course, a commercial department, and a four-year Bible course—offering the degree Bachelor of Arts in Biblical Education. The Institute helps to develop the character and intellect of hundreds who come from all parts of the United States and other countries, enabling them to become good citizens and fruitful servants for the Lord around the world. The sun never sets on the work of former students and graduates of Toccoa Falls.
