Above All Else: 20 Years of Baccalaureate Sermons

In celebration of 20 years of university presidency, John C. Bowling reflects back across two decades of life on campus and notes the capacity that Christian higher education has to leave a distinctive mark on students. Above All Else contains a collection of baccalaureate sermons Bowling has presented to university students over the years, forwarding a central charge: "Above All Else guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life."

While well suited for college and university graduates, the collective truth of Bowling's sermons resonate with young and old alike, for life is comprised of a series of daily changing commencements—from opportunities and challenges of every variety.
