About this book

How could a Baptist minister and his wife with no money, no campus, and no students in May establish a Bible college by September? How had God prepared the facility for His use decades earlier? How has He sustained that college for 40 years? This book includes many rare photographs as well as recollections from many alumni (some of them quite humorous) and little-known facts about the campus and its history (such as the exact location of the "holy water"). "I did feel like the school was far overdue to have some sort of initial compilation of everything that had happened here," said Ledgerwood, wife of Fine Arts Department chair Dr. David Ledgerwood. "It was something that needed to be taken care of." When she finished, Ledgerwood had produced an original document that spanned nine chapters of text and interviews. Perhaps more impressively, however, she had also produced 24 charts that included a staggering amount of data: every faculty member hired, the year-by-year records of every athletic team (where available), every fall and spring special meeting speaker, and academic fee information for each year. - Publisher.
