From a seasoned Christian educator and professor comes a concise, accessible introduction to the unique purpose and value of a Christian college education. Whether you're a parent, an educator, or an incoming freshman, you'll benefit from Ostrander's thoughtful look at how higher learning shapes our understanding of creation, the fall, and redemption. 128 pages, softcover from Abilene Christian University.

At last, a brief, readable introduction to the unique purpose and value of a Christian college education. This book draws on the insights of a wide range of Christian philosophers, historians, scientists, and theologians, but communicates key concepts in straightforward language and analogies that will connect with today's college students. Brief enough to be paired with other "first-year" texts; it is an ideal introduction to the Christian college experience for students, faculty, and staff.

He served as Academic Dean at John Brown University, Siloam Springs, Arkansas, where he oversaw the First-Year Seminar and the University Core Curriculum.
