God on Campus


Book Description

Trent Sheppard explores historical turning points as they've intersected college students in prayer. From the establishment of early American campuses during the Great Awakening, to the parachurch movement in the mid-twentieth century, to the Campus America initiative to establish vital praying communities on every campus in the United States, Sheppard shows that students can participate in remarkable movements of God simply by being open to being moved.




The Campus God


Book Description

As societal structures evolved, corruption grew more complex, leaving the young vulnerable. Youth culture, new concepts of love, fraternities, and frustrations thrived on university campuses. A four-member band, backed by devoted girls, emerged. Cain Stone led with pop philosophy, Eras Ter introduced the yam god, Timi Sly suffered a heartbreak, Johnny B maintained their high profile with a chemical invention. The boys were unpolished, and the girls were bold in their quest for self-expression.




Gay on God's Campus


Book Description

Although the LGBT movement has made rapid gains in the United States, LGBT people continue to face discrimination in faith communities. In this book, sociologist Jonathan S. Coley documents why and how student activists mobilize for greater inclusion at Christian colleges and universities. Drawing on interviews with student activists at a range of Christian institutions of higher learning, Coley shows that students, initially drawn to activism because of their own political, religious, or LGBT identities, are forming direct action groups that transform university policies, educational groups that open up campus dialogue, and solidarity groups that facilitate their members' personal growth. He also shows how these LGBT activists apply their skills and values after graduation in subsequent political campaigns, careers, and family lives, potentially serving as change agents in their faith communities for years to come. Coley's findings shed light on a new frontier of LGBT activism and challenge prevailing wisdom about the characteristics of activists, the purpose of activist groups, and ultimately the nature of activism itself.

Campus Flirt


Book Description

From USA Today bestselling author Jennifer Sucevic comes a short, sexy story in the Campus Series. Know what the problem is with crushing on your best friend? That there’s not a damn thing you can do about it. Especially if you don’t want to blow up your entire relationship. Easton is the guy I turn to when I need...well, just about everything. And what I’ve learned over the years is that friendship is more difficult to come by than hookups and boyfriends. Plus, it’s not like he sees me as anything other than his soccer playing gal pal. The one he used to sneak out of the house with when we were teenagers. But we’re not kids any more. At the end of this year, we’ll graduate and go our separate ways. Why that thought fills me with sadness, I don’t know. Actually, I do. And that’s the problem. So, when my roommate suggests going out with her hot, hockey playing cousin, it seems like the perfect opportunity to move on from this crush.

When God Walked on Campus


Book Description

Do you long for revival on your college or university campus? Is your heart burdened for the students you interact with each day? Here are some accounts of revivals in the past two centuries that will whet your appetite for the transforming work of God's Spirit on your campus today.From the academic halls of America - Princeton, Yale, Harvard, Dartmouth, Brown, Middlebury, Union, Bethel, Wheaton, Williams, Trinity, Ashland, and many others - comes the stirring stories of awakening and revival.On both secular and Christian Campuses, the moving of God is evident as men and women were converted and stirred to ministry and foreign service.

They Called Me Boston


Book Description

They Called Me Boston took me fifty-three years of living an adventurous, courageous, dangerous, reckless, and faith-filled life. From sin to forgiveness, self-will run riot to Thine will be done, this story does not just involve a solo mission of living a full life; it is a testimony that God unconditionally loves his children. As a child of God, I had to learn the hard way that God knows the best way to live and love life. Through God's unconditional love, extreme guidance, and permitting me to suffer for the sake of his son's name, Jesus the Christ, I give testimony that heaven is accessible here on earth. Only through forgiveness is freedom granted. By surrendering my will and offering my limited self to God, an unlimited and abundant amount of blessings are granted one day at a time. The resilient nature of our physical bodies allows for an earthly resurrection of our divine spirit. Nerves may be severed, but God can restore balance. Medical interventions and the love from nurses may enhance daily life, but true love from Jesus will grant eternal life; therefore, I trust my allotted days in Jesus's hands. A bucket list is limited to human self-desires, when you allow God's desires to plan your earthly pilgrimage, his kingdom benefits; your family, friends, and neighbors will be more grateful for the life that you lived. May They Called Me Boston inspire you to live a life full of God's blessings, and may those blessings be eternal. Gratefully alive, Patrick John Shanahan.

The Fulfilling Life


Book Description

Dr. Paul K. S Kim believes that the human desire to live a fulfilling life on earth is one of the universal phenomena of all ages. This quest is not, he says, just a dream or fantasy in our mind; it can become a reality. In the Bible, God reveals that no person is born with the fulfilling life but that anyone can reach this life through faith in God. This faith in God is the channel for them to achieve the fulfilling life. As God provides eternal life in Christ, so also in Christ God makes possible the fulfilling life. Paul Kim guides believers to this blessed state-the fulfilling life in Christ. Dr. Paul K.S. Kim, a native of Korea, immigrated to the U.S. in 1967. He served in the U.S. Army and an Army Reserve Chaplain. Kim holds Master degrees from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary from which he received the 2004 Distinguished Alumni Award. He served as the National Alumni President and currently serves as the National Adviser to City Alumni Fellowship. He earned the Doctor of Ministry degree from Golden Gate Baptist Theological Seminary. He and his wife were the first couple to receive the Alumni Achievement Award. He served as a trustee of the International Mission Board, as State Convention President of the Baptist Convention of New England, and has traveled to over seventy countries. Kim has written Biblical Principles for Church Planting and Practical Church Planting for Growth. Kim lives with his wife, the former Rebekah Lee, in Cambridge, Massachusetts, where Kim serves as the founding pastor of Berkland Baptist Church.
